MathML Similarity Test

Test project to recreate and compare the similarity measurement from the mathosphere project.

Requierements

This application requires a mysql db which holds the sql.dump generated by the old mathosphere program from 2014. This dump included all formulas and queries from the NTCIR-11 test collection.

The collection and dump can be found here: https://github.com/TU-Berlin/mathosphere-history/releases

Configuration

1. Change the database credentials to your local db. Configuration file: application.yaml.
2. Select a table to write comparison result into. Class file: TestRunner.java holds the name of the result table in the constant RESULT_TABLE_NAME.

Usage

Start the test via the ApplicationStart.java class.

SQLs

Changes to the database structure must be manually applied via SQL statements. For example, this includes the creation of a new result table.

• Statements can be found at src/main/resources
  • Preparation statements in setup.sql.
  • Similarity factors in factor1.sql to factor5.sql
  • Necessary binary negation funtion in neq_function.sql
  • Statistic statement for all queries in query_table.sql
