Hi, Bahar.

You don't sound very certain when you say you didn't see errors when running wikifier from the command line; can you dump the output you get from that to a file and send it? Please do the same for the output when you run the perl script.  Ideally, echo the exact command you use in each case to the output file.

Regards,

Mark

Subject: [Illinois-ml-nlp-users] Executing Wikifier from a Perl script

Hi,

I managed to install and run Wikifier using command line and it went through well. Now I need to use it as a part of my Perl script.
I changed the paths in Config files to point to the correct folders and ran it as:

my $wikifier = `java -Xmx8g -classpath ./path-to/Wikifier.jar:./path-to-all-jar-files-in-lib-directory CommonSenseWikifier.ReferenceAssistant -annotateData path-to-input-corpus path-to-output-folder false path-to-Config/Demo_Config_Deployed`;

I receive a lot of exceptions as the one below and it tries to install some dictionaries. I don't recall it would happen when I ran the Wikifier before from the command line. It doesn't generate any output in the end.

12/09/15 23:24:40 INFO dictionary.Dictionary: Installing dictionary net.didion.jwnl.dictionary.FileBackedDictionary@1e2acc65
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -7557

        at CommonSenseWikifier.Caching.CachingCurator.getTextAnnotation(CachingCurator.java:62)
        at CommonSenseWikifier.ReferenceAssistant.main(ReferenceAssistant.java:80)

Can you advise what could cause these exceptions or if I'm missing something for running Wikifier from a Perl script?

Thanks,
Bahar
