Multilingual factuality

This repository is used to build a multi-lingual system for identifying the factuality of events. We are currently working on a basic implementation for Dutch and English.

Running the module

The scripts to run the module are located at feature_extractor/

  1. On a single file:
cat inputfile python rule_based_factuality.py > outputfile
  1. For a directory:

./run_rule_based_on_dir.sh inputdir/ outputdir/

Version:

Version 0.01 is released on May 9th 2016. It is a basic implementation and first creation of resources based on intuition. We expect to have many minor revisions in the near future. You will therefore find some version 0.xx in the document.

As soon as the resources for at least one language and the rule application system have stabilized, we will release version 1.0
