Setup

This repository uses Ducttape to manage intermediate results of the experiment pipeline.

To run a portion of the pipeline, first clone this repository to your location, then in tapes/env.tape, modify various paths to point to various datasets or packages.

Then use the following command:

  ducttape hiertype.tape -p <TASK>

where <TASK> is any of the plans defined in the Ducttape scripts.

One can easily execute different tasks by modifying the plans in the tape files.
