clulab / fatdynet   0.4.5

GitHub

Builds a fat, cross-platform jar of dynet for scala

Scala versions: 3.x 2.13 2.12 2.11

Build Status Maven Central

fatdynet

faydynet packages DyNet for direct integration into Scala/Java environments on Linux, Mac, and Windows. No other downloads or development tools are necessary other than Java and sbt.

Understanding by Example

fatdynet is being used by at least two other clulab projects, and sometimes the best way to understand something is to see an example. Here are some links for those who want to cut to the chase:

Depending on This Project

To use fatdynet with sbt in your own project, first check the releases page for the most recent version number and then make a build.sbt file like

name := "fatdynetClient"

organization := "org.clulab"

scalaVersion := "2.12.4"

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  "org.clulab" %% "fatdynet" % "0.2.4"
)

It can be tested with a program like

package org.clulab.fatdynetClient.apps

import edu.cmu.dynet.examples.XorScala

object XorScalaClientApp extends App {
  XorScala.main(args)
}

Cloning This Project

A clone of this project should work out of the box with sbt. You can perform a quick check with sbt test which should pass or sbt run which should produce output similar to the lines quoted below.

> git clone https://github.com/clulab/fatdynet
> cd fatdynet
> sbt
sbt: fatdynet> test
...
sbt: fatdynet> run
...
