ICARUS-Search-Perspective

The search_perspective.png perspective provides the following search types:

How to set up a new search:
  1. Click on search_new.png to create a new search.

  2. Afterwards the search need to be configured:
  3. search_configuration.png

    • Type: Select one of the following search types described above.
    • Data-Set: The Treebank/Document used for the query.
    • Query: Clicking search_query.png opens the query editor. There may be different types of query editors depending on the search type.

    • Parameters: Search pararameters depending on the search type.
  4. Execute Search using the search_execute.png button

  5. View the Result by double-clicking the search result or use the inspect-button search_inspect.png

Tutorial Dependency Search (passive constructions) with one grouping operator:

If the the user doesn't exactly know the how passive constructions are annotated in a treebank. Then he can use e.g. mate-tools or weblicht to parse a sentence contains a passice construction and copy&paste the structure to the search graph.

  1. Parsed sentence "Mary was kissed by a boy." search_example_mt.png .

  2. Select the passice construction search_example_mt_selected.png

  3. Copy the selected cells and edges search_copy.png and switch to the search_perspective.png

  4. Paste selected cells and edges into the search query editor window search_paste.png

  5. The resulting graph when using the arc-layout (recommended) search_arc-layout.png search_cp-graph-arc.png

  6. In the following step the search graph (query) will be generalized (double clicking the edge / nodes to open the edge/node editor).
    1. Node 1 search_edit-node.png changed to search_edit-node-b.png

    2. Edge search_example-edge.png changed to search_example-edge-b.png

    3. Node 2 search_example-node2.png changed to (added grouping operator <*>) search_example-node2-b.png search_example-node2-c.png

    4. These changes result in a new more generalized version of the search graph (below is the textual query representation) search_example_sg+text.png This query matches passive constructions in English as annotated in the CoNLL08 Shared Task data set.
