Hi, Monika.

Yes, if installed on a virtual machine, it should work (given sufficient memory). Our experience with VirtualBox is mixed: curator requires a 64-bit architecture, but some older chipsets don't support VirtualBox 64-bit. In addition, some systems' BIOS settings are not compatible with VirtualBox 64-bit.
It's possible that VMWare is less complicated (but is not free, unlike VirtualBox).

Another approach that might work -- but which we have not tried ourselves -- would be to install Cygwin and then install/start curator from there. 

Regards,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the answer.

Additionally , I realized that it as basically developed for linux system.

Do you think if I install in on virtual Ubuntu OS, it should work.

Any other options if that’s not possible.

 

Thanks a lot.

Regards

Monika

Hi, Monika.

I'd estimate the minimum memory footprint for Curator with SRL at 8G -- this allows for the curator, charniak parser, part of speech tagger, and chunker to be loaded in addition to the SRL.  Our NLP tools that perform more complex tasks (such as SRL) tend to have large models and large resource files (gazetteers etc), so unfortunately, they tend to need a lot of memory if they are to maintain good performance. 

Regards,

Mark

Subject: [Illinois-ml-nlp-users] Memory requirements for Curator

Hi ,

 

I want to use Curator for semantic role labelling in my java project.

Can anybody help me in knowing the exact requirements for Curator setup.

My machine has 4GB RAM, windows 7.

 

Thanks in advance.

Monika
