Jet console
Unless the Jet.batch parameter is set in the configuration
file, Jet will create a console window on start-up. The console provide
three functions:
-
sentence entry: you can enter a sentence
in the space at the bottom of the window; typing a return causes
the sentence to be processed by Jet, using the processSentence script
-
system output: most Jet output, including
traces of parsing and pattern application, appear in the main window
(in batch mode, this output is sent to standard output)
-
menu control: various Jet operations
can be performed using the console menus
The menus provide the following functions:
-
file menu: allows you to reload the grammar, lexicon, or pattern
file; this is convenient if you want to edit one of these files and
retry Jet without restarting the system. The file names are those
specified in the configuration file; they cannot be changed through
the menu. This menu also has an Exit item to terminate Jet.
-
parser menu: allows you to choose one of the 4 parsers (top-down
recognizer, top-down parser, bottom-up parser, and top-down chart parser);
turn on and off the parser trace; and display one of the parse trees in
graphical form
-
patterns menu: allows you to display the original patterns,
or the finite-state graph generated from the pattern sets; allows
you to trace individual patterns and pattern application
-
tools menu: lets you
-
run the scoring program on two SGML-marked files
-
run the concept editor
-
process a set of documents using the processDocuments script
-
close all the Jet windows
-
change the colors associated with annotations in Document displays
