Hi, Elisa.

As you have observed, this code is not up to our normal release standards.  
At present, no one at UIUC is actively using/developing this code although it 
may be actively developed again in the near future.  

You could try getting in touch with the code's author, Prateek Jindal 
(jindal2 AT illinois.edu).

Regards,

Mark

Subject: [[Illinois-ml-nlp-users] ] Is Medical Coref usable?

Hi,
I'm interested in a Coreference tool specifically for handling texts in the
medical field. I downloaded the code for the Medical Coref project, but
haven't been able to get very far.
The readme states to run the main method in the Myadmin class, which by
default seems to be configured to run as a server for xml-rpc. I uncommented
the code in the main method to test with some sample sentences. However, this
failed when trying to locate the following file:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: gold_sections_prob.txt (No such file or
directory)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.open0(Native Method)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.open(FileInputStream.java:195)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:138)
        at java.util.Scanner.<init>(Scanner.java:611)
        at best_first.Secnames.load_gold_prob_sections(Secnames.java:253)
        at best_first.Secnames.init(Secnames.java:44)
        at best_first.Secnames.<init>(Secnames.java:33)
        at best_first.Docset.<init>(Docset.java:164)
        at best_first.Myadmin.<init>(Myadmin.java:149)
        at best_first.Myadmin.rain(Myadmin.java:192)
        at best_first.Myadmin.main(Myadmin.java:311)

This file is not located in the downloaded software. On a side note, I see
there are several other files being referenced which are not included either
(e.g. section_nomenclature.txt, print_sections_prob.txt) and reference to
directories that do not exist (e.g. Myadmin.java /shared/saruman/jindal2/
javaworkspace/odie_coref_art/MSRA_public_dictionaries/i2b2_dictionary/). I was
also not able to locate the following jar which was listed as a prereq:
i2b2va-eval.jar

Thanks,
Elisa
