1. Introduction

1.1. Description

JNSP is a Java implementation of Ngram Statistic Package at http://ngram.sourceforge.net/ . This allows user to count and find collocations through hypothesis testing with t-score, mutual information, etc.

1.2. News, Comments, and Bug Reports.

- September 07, 2008:

·         Released version 2.0

We highly appreciate any suggestion, comment, and bug report.

2. How to Use JNSP from Command Line

2.1. Download

You can find and download document, source code of JNSP at http://sourceforge.net/projects/jnsp

Here are some other tools developed by the same author:

·         JVnSegmenter: A Java-based Vietnamese Word Segmentation Tool

·         JGibbLDA: A Java-based Latent Dirichllet Allocation using Gibbs Sampling for estimation/inference

2.2. Command Line & Input Parameters

In this section, we describe how to use this tool for parameter estimation and inference for new data. Suppose that the current working directory is the home directory of JNSP and we are in Linux platform. The command lines for other cases are similar.

2.2.1. Counting a collection of text

$ java [-mx512M] -cp bin:lib/tokenfilter.jar jnsp.Counter <option file>

2.2.3. Doing statistics on the counted data

$ java [-mx512M]-cp bin:lib/tokenfilter.jar jnsp.Statistic <option file>

2.2.3. Option Parameters

Parameters which can be set in option file are presented as follows:

For example, in order to refer to the file D:\count2.cnt (here, 2 means the number of gram, and cnt is the suffix in the counting file name), we specify cntFile=D:\count. Associating with the information of the number of grams, we can construct the counting file name from this cntFile.

2.3. Output Data Format

[Number of ngrams]
[Ngram 1]<>[Couting Parameters]
[Ngram 2]<>[Couting Parameters]
.....

[Ngram 1]<>[statistic value]
[Ngram 2]<>[statistic value]
...
