Core Tabular

This is the source code for the Core Tabular command-line compiler, tc.exe.

License

See file LICENSE.txt.

Requirements:

Infer.NET v2.6

CoreTabular uses Infer.NET as a backend.

Visual Studio 2013 (Optional)

Building:

In Visual Studio 2013:

Open the Tabular.sln file in VS 2013.
In Solution Explorer window, right-click on the solution and "Enable nuget package restore".
Click Build.

Or just type msbuild from the command-line.

Documentation:

tc.exe gives command line options. tc.exe --help gives a summary of tabular syntax.

Models may be written as comma-separated .csv files or tab-separated .txt files. The latter have the advantage that fields containing "," need not be wrapped in quotes ("...").

Samples:

The project comes with two sample applications in folders Samples\TrueSkill and Samples\Faithful. Each contains a script run.bat that invokes the Tabular compiler tc.exe to compile the model (from Tabular to Infer.NET) and run inference.

Building on Unix-like systems

Building under recent Ubuntu with Mono and optional MonoDevelop, goes something like this:

cd CoreTabular 
#get MS VB dll
sudo apt-get install libmono-microsoft-visualbasic10.0-cil 
sudo apt-get install nuget
nuget restore
chmod a+x packages/FsLexYacc.6.1.0/build/fslex.exe 
chmod a+x packages/FsLexYacc.6.1.0/build/fsyacc.exe

From the command-line

xbuild /t:build /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform="Any CPU"

Or use the MonoDevelop IDE.
