Listing the frequently asked questions about the CuiTools package.
CuiTools can be applied to any word sense disambiguation problem.
No, you will always need NSP and WEKA.
Yes. You only need MetaMap if you would like to run the plain2mm.pl program that converts plain text to mm format.
No, CuiTools will run on any data set that is either in the machine prolog output (similar to the NLM-WSD data set) or plain text format.
In plain format each line of the text files contains a single context. where the ambiguous word is identified by <head instance=``instance'' sense=``sense''>word</head>.
For example:
Paul was named <head instance=``art.30002'' sense=``art''>Art</head> magazine's top collector.

The PMID version is required by the nlm2sval2 package which subsequently means that it is required by the nlm2mm program. If you are not going to use the nlm2mm program then it shouldn't matter which version of the dataset you use.
