ACE wishlist

These are some features that ACE does not support properly, but some people think it should. WoodleyPackard intends to consult this page to gauge user priorities when making improvements, so please add comments if you have an interest in seeing some particular feature supported in ACE (estimated priorities are in parentheses).

• Easier access to ACE's quickcheck skeleton generator (low --- is this the same as quickcheck file generation? (for me, the ability to generate a quickcheck file from ACE is sufficient -MWG))
• Time profiling for generation -- rule by rule? (low)
• YY mode: support multiple POS tags, with probabilities (requested by ???)
• Easy generation of quickcheck files without recompilation (2017-01-10: FCB, ZZF, DVM)
• Unknown word handling with lemmatization (2017-01-10: FCB, ZZF, DVM, DPF, MWG)
• Unknown word generation (2017-01-10: FCB, ZZF, DVM, DPF, MWG)
• Documentation on how to train a parsing/realization model (2017-01-10: FCB, ZZF, DVM, MWG)
• Unicode support for 2016-style SEM-Is (2017-05-02: MWG)
• Handling () inside of lexical items: e.g., I have lexical items with disappearing segments, traditionally marked in ()s: -(y)a, -(č)iił, etc. (2017-08-02: DAI)

Done

• Support for TDL doc-strings

• More complete LUI support, e.g. chart browser, MRS browser (???)

• Support for outputing [incr tsdb()] profiles, perhaps for a given relations file (???; requested by MichaelGoodman)

  • this is supported by the external 'art' program, to be released some time soon hopefully

• 0.9.25 Timeouts for parsing/generation (???; requested by DanFlickinger, added by MichaelGoodman)

• 0.9.25 Generate unknown names

• rule chain specification for YY input

• Right clicking on the Macintosh ACE-LUI interface (as of August 2017-ish; anyone still having trouble? WP)
