Stanford parser grammatical relation browser

• What is it ?
  It provides a simple-to-use graphic interface to grammatical structure and relations of any text as parsed by the Stanford Parser. It contains a grammatical relation editor to modify, import, export grammatical relation definitions (tregex patterns and features). Written to Java 1.6 and Swing, it is portable across platforms.

  Unzip to target folder

  Make ./run.sh executable on non-Windows platforms

  Run run.bat or ./run.sh from target folder
• Command line
  linux/unices:

  java -Xmx256M -classpath ./grammarbrowser.jar:./lib/stanford-parser.jar grammarbrowser.browser.Browser [parameters]

  windows:

  java -Xmx256M -classpath ./grammarbrowser.jar;./lib/stanford-parser.jar grammarbrowser.browser.Browser [parameters]

  Note the -Xmx256M parameter sets the JVM memory heap to 256 mega bytes, which may suffice or not depending on analyzed data. It may also stretch the memory requirements too much on some hosts.

• Diff
  Some of the Stanford 1.6 distribution classes had to be patched (the patched file are to be found in the grammarbrowser.jar, please note the classpath order on the command line is relevant for the patched classes to override the standard ones):

  • edu/stanford/nlp/parser/ui/TreeJPanel
    • antialiasing rendering
    • font selection and size computation made public so that wrapping components can size accordingly and not the other way around
  • edu/stanford/nlp/trees/GrammaticalRelation.java
    • made members protected or accessible so that a MutableGrammaticalRelation (=editable) can be derived
  • edu/stanford/nlp/trees/tregex/TregexParser.java
    • bug fixed (parser did not recover well after negation-involving parse errors)
