System Dev. To Do

1. Convert current prototype into a working system. [Niranjan, by next Friday, In progress].

• End-to-end system is built.
• Implemented dynamic predicates (i.e. predicates don't have to be fully materialized within Tuffy's databases).
• Actual evidence is being selected for each proposition (though not through Textual Evidence Finder)
• Rules being used are fed in Tuffy format.
• Stemming/Headwords and Synonym transforms need to be added.

2. Textual evidence finder [Greg]

• minimal web interface [Done!]
• tuple representation design [Done!!]
• lexical variants (head word, stemming etc.) [In progress?]

3. Update the system architecture figure to emphasize textual matching using procedural escapes. [Niranjan, Done.]
