# About

This project is designed to extract entities (i.e., `taxa`, `phenotypes`, `habitats`, `disease names`, `hosts`, `pathogen`, `vector`, `dates` and `geographic names`) from textual data for the purpose of scientific watch.

It contains a workflow based on Framework [AlvisNLP](https://github.com/Bibliome/alvisnlp) and uses the Ontobiotope Ontology and NCBI taxonomy.


## Usage
The workflow works on command line (e.g., `GNU bash, version 4.4.x`) with `singularity version 3.4.x` 
installed on your computer (see [how to install singularity](https://sylabs.io/guides/3.4/user-guide/quick_start.html#quick-installation-steps)). 
It is compatible with `AlvisNLP version 0.7.x` provided in a [Singularity](https://sylabs.io/) image. Run the following steps to test the workflow,
a test corpus is provided in `corpus/pesv/Xylella-test/txt/` (`16Go` RAM memory is required to run the test corpus).


1. clone the project.

```
git clone https://forgemia.inra.fr/mandiayba/pesv-tm.git

cd pesv-tm
```

2. pull the singularity image of AlvisNLP. 
> `login` and `password` are required to pull the AlvisNLP singularity image from forgemia, please contact the maintainer if you don't have permissions.

```
cd pesv-tm/softwares

singularity pull --docker-login alvisnlp.sif oras:registry.forgemia.inra.fr/migale/tm-tools-packages/sif/alvisnlp:v0.0.4
```

3. run the workflow. 
> execute the workflow with the test corpus `corpus/pesv/Xylella-test/txt/`, results are stored into `corpus/pesv/Xylella-test/`

```
cd pesv-tm/

softwares/alvisnlp.sif -J-Xmx32G -verbose -cleanTmp \
-alias input corpus/pesv/Xylella-test/txt/ \
-outputDir corpus/pesv/Xylella-test/ \
-entity ontobiotope resources/BioNLP-OST+EnovFood \
-feat inhibit-syntax inhibit-syntax \
plans/PESV_workflow.plan
```

4. See results from `corpus/Xylella/visualisation_html`

*. You may browser the results by using option `-browser`. For that, run the following command, check the logs and goto [http://localhost:8878](http://localhost:8878) 

```
cd pesv-tm/

softwares/alvisnlp.sif -J-Xmx32G -verbose -cleanTmp \
-browser
-alias input corpus/pesv/Xylella-test/txt/ \
-outputDir corpus/pesv/Xylella-test/ \
-entity ontobiotope resources/BioNLP-OST+EnovFood \
