About Training Data about bllip-parser HOT 1 CLOSED

1. One possible point of confusion here is that the DATA directories are actually parsing models (the numbers are counts, probabilities, etc.) not the actual training data (treebanks). For the included DATA directories, the actual training data is the Penn Treebank (EN and LM) and Chinese Treebank (CH). If you have these treebanks, you can add other treebanks to them and then train a combined model.

2. The training script (trainParser) helps construct the parsing model directories (converts the real training trees to the various files inside the model directory). See the READMEs in the first-stage and TRAIN directories for more information. See my answer in #27 for where you can download or license some treebanks.

Hope this helps -- please let me know if I can clarify anything.
