# DFS Tools

## About

This implements the **Distributional Formal Semantics (DFS)** framework, as described in:

* [Venhuizen, N. J., Hendriks, P., Crocker, M. W., and Brouwer, H. (2022).
  Distributional Formal Semantics. *Information and Computation, 287:* 104763.
  doi: 10.1016/j.ic.2021.104763](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S089054012100078X)
  [[PDF]](https://njvenhuizen.github.io/pub/venhuizen2022distributional.pdf)

  A Framework for Distributional Formal Semantics. In: Iemhoff, R.,
  Moortgat, M., and de Queiroz, R. (Eds.), *Logic, Language, Information,
  and Computation*, Proceedings of the 26th International Workshop WoLLIC

  [[PDF]](http://njvenhuizen.github.io/pub/venhuizen2019framework.pdf)

DFS Tools is written in Prolog, and tested in
[SWI-Prolog](http://www.swi-prolog.org/) and
[YAP](https://www.dcc.fc.up.pt/~vsc/yap/).

Detailed documentation can be found here:

* [DFS Tools PlDoc documentation.](https://hbrouwer.github.io/dfs-tools/)

Examples can be found in the `worlds/` folder.

For more work, employing (an earlier formulation of) the framework, see:

## Example workflow

### Sampling:

Sampling a single model:

```prolog
?- dfs_sample_model(M), dfs_pprint_model(M).

%%%% Um = { e1, e2, e3, e4, e5, e6, e7, e8 }
%%%%
%%%% Vm ( john ) = e1
%%%% Vm ( ellen ) = e2
%%%% Vm ( restaurant ) = e3
%%%% Vm ( bar ) = e4
%%%% Vm ( pizza ) = e5
%%%% Vm ( fries ) = e6
%%%% Vm ( wine ) = e7
%%%% Vm ( beer ) = e8
%%%%
%%%% Vm ( order ) = { < e1, e5 >, < e2, e7 >, < e2, e6 >, < e1, e8 >, < e2, e5 > }
%%%% Vm ( pay ) = { e1 }
%%%% Vm ( ask_menu ) = { e2 }
%%%% Vm ( eat ) = { < e2, e5 >, < e2, e6 > }
%%%% Vm ( drink ) = { < e1, e8 > }
%%%% Vm ( enter ) = { < e1, e3 >, < e2, e3 > }
%%%% Vm ( leave ) = { e1 }

M =  ([e1, e2, e3, e4, e5, e6, e7, e8], [john=e1, ellen=e2, restaurant=e3, bar=e4, pizza=e5, fries=e6, wine=e7, ... = ...|...]).
```

Sampling a set of models:

```prolog
?- dfs_sample_models(2,Ms).
Sample: 1 / 2

%%%% drink: { < john, wine >, < ellen, wine > }
%%%% order: { < ellen, wine >, < john, beer >, < john, pizza >, < john, wine >, < ellen, pizza > }
%%%% pay: { ellen, john }
%%%% ask_menu: { ellen }
%%%% enter: { < john, bar >, < ellen, restaurant > }
%%%% eat: { < ellen, pizza > }

Sample: 2 / 2

%%%% pay: { john, ellen }
%%%% enter: { < ellen, bar > }
%%%% order: { < ellen, beer >, < john, beer >, < john, pizza > }
%%%% leave: { ellen, john }
%%%% eat: { < john, pizza > }
%%%% drink: { < ellen, beer > }

### From models to vector space

```prolog
dfs_sample_models(50,Ms), dfs_models_to_matrix(Ms,Mx), dfs_pprint_matrix(Mx).
