pypolibox is part of a database-to-text generation (NLG) software built on Python 2.6, the Natural Language Toolkit I{NLTK} and Nicholas Fitzgerald's pydocplanner.

Using a database of technical books and some user input, pypolibox generates sentences descriptions. These descriptions are then used by the OpenCCG surface realiser to generate written sentences in German.

Please install Python 2.6, python-nltk and python-argparse before running pypolibox. In order to generate sentences (instead of abstract sentence descriptions), you will need to install OpenCCG. You will also need a copy of the correspoding German OpenCCG grammar fragment (written by Martin Oltmann, not released yet).

Please see __init__.py (and/or generate the complete documentation with epydoc).

None yet. You may read the code and run it in a non-commercial setting, though. (My thesis advisor has given me the permission to open source this project, but has not decided on a license, yet.)
