WinKimmo is the GUI version of PC-Kimmo 2.1.0. (http://www.sil.org/pckimmo) It is expected to be an accelerator for Kimmo beginners who are tired of typing commands. With this tool you can do recognition simply with 1 click. Actually it!/s especially designed for CMSC723-Introduction to Computational Linguistics at University of Maryland College Park. WinKimmo takes the input format of PC-Kimmo 1.0 (or less) and automatically converts them into PC-Kimmo 2.0 input format. The input contains are 2 files: !0.aut!1 file specifying the !0Rules!1 and !0.dic!1 file specifying lexicon. After loading these 2 files, you can recognize a single word or batch recognition a word list in a file. Comment 1: This idea comes when my UNIX account was damaged for some unknown reason and the only PC I can access was a windows PC. Plus, it!/s really boring SSH-ing to an UNIX machine and typing commands via an ADSL connection. So I decided to build something which can run on an stand-alone PC without repeating commands. Finally it!/s WinKimmo. Comment 2: You don't have to install an individual PC-Kimmo since it!/s already contained in WinKimmo.exe. Actually it contains a !0hacked!1 version of PC-Kimmo 2.1.0. I read the source code of PC-Kimmo 2.1.0 and changed slightly at several places to make sure the output format is IDENTICAL with PC-Kimmo 1.0. So you can test your !0german.aut!1 and !0german.dic!1 with it. For more information, email to liuxu at cs dot umd dot edu.
