Bash Scripts

The scripts are meant to be run in the root directory of the project.

• parse.sh - create a folder named output and store the results of whole dataset parsing there.
• eval.sh - evaluate each output against the ground truth of the dataset using pa193_dataset/output_compare.py.
• run.sh - run both stages above in given order.
