[Olympus developers 131]: Re: Missing file during tokenization

[Antoine Raux]

Hi Derek,

I'm no longer at CMU so not aware of the most recent internal 
developments but I think the Tutorial systems are not up-to-date and do 
not work with the current trunk (or maybe even the latest release). The 
MeetingLine example system (available from the repository at 
http://trac.speech.cs.cmu.edu/repos/olympus/example-systems) is the 
reference system that is most likely to work.

Judging from the activity on this list, it seems that an increasing 
number of groups outside CMU are using (or at least trying to use) 
Olympus. I think it would be worth it for someone to get the tutorials 
up to date and finish the tutorials. I know this is a lot of work but 
without proper documentation (including tutorials) it will be hard to 
gather and maintain a community of Olympus developers/users... This can 
be done either by someone from the core group at CMU or one of the more 
advanced external users (I think the latter might be better since that 
person would have a better understanding of the issues involved in 
learning to use Olympus). Ideally it would be a group of people from 
both sides...

Unfortunately, I'm sorry I can't be of much help on this now...

On a side note, are any Olympus developers/users going to HLT/NAACL 2009 
in Boulder, CO in June? If so, I'd be happy to meet and have a chat :)

How can I obtain this file? Also, I would like to obtain the generic.gra file to remove some warnings. Any help would be appreciated.
