Asynchronous Semantic Ad-hoc Protocol (ASAP) engine for Java

Maven should be installed on your system

mvn clean package

..in the ASAPJava directory. This creates a jar file with path ASAPJava/target/ASAPRouter-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar which can be used for further development. Note that currently the multihop-tests fail with ASAPJava version 0.7.0. Version 0.7.2 is supposed to fix this, but created even more failing tests.

mvn clean package -DskipTests

Use this to skip tests and compile into a jar.

If you want to use the SemanticComparator, you need to first setup the required Word space yourself. This chapter will explain how to do so.

Visit https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText/blob/master/docs/crawl-vectors.md and download one of the models in text form. In this example we download the German model via this link.

Visit https://www.linguatools.de/disco/disco-builder.html and follow the instructions to download and install the latest DISCO Builder TLDR: 1) Unpack the tar file 2) cd into the directory 3) you can now run the jar file "DISCOBuilder-1.1.1-all.jar"

java -Xmx8g -cp DISCOBuilder-1.1.1/DISCOBuilder-1.1.1-all.jar de.linguatools.disco.builder.Import -in cc.de.300.vec -out cc.de.300.col.denseMatrix -wsType COL 

Now you should have a folder called „cc.de.300.vec” with a file „cc.de.300.col.denseMatrix” in it. Next step is to move the file and the folder into the resources folder of this repository.

mv cc.de.300.vec/ PATH/TO/THIS/REPO/src/main/resources

Now you are ready to use the DISCO API within the SemanticComparator
