StruAP: A Tool for Bundling Linguistic Trees through Structure-based Abstract Pattern

Abstract

We present a tool for developing tree structure patterns that makes it easy to define the relations among textual phrases and create a search index for these newly defined relations. By using the proposed tool, users develop tree structure patterns through abstracting syntax trees. The tool features (1) intuitive pattern syntax, (2) unique functions such as recursive call of patterns and lexicon reference, and (3) whole workflow support for relation development and validation. We report the current implementation of the tool and its effectiveness.
