Submission Instructions

Use the same instructions as for homework 1. Of course, replace assign1 with project. Please read these additional guidelines:

• If your program needs to be compiled in order to run, please compile it using any of the elements machine (you will have to do this for C, C++, Java for example). Please specify in the README which is the file we should run. For scripting-like languages (Python, Perl) there is no need to provide a executable file. If you do your project in Windows, make sure you send the EXE file and instructions on how to run it.
• If you use third party applications in your project (like POS taggers, named-entity recognizers), install them in your account under a public directory (so I can access them when I run your project) and use absolute paths when calling those applications (ex: (/afs/cs.pitt.edu/usr0/mrotaru/public/cs2731/hw2/RULE_BASED_TAGGER_V1.14/). Note that this applies only if you do your application in Linux using an elements machine. Also, when compiling the third party applications, again use the elements machines. If you do your project in Windows you will have to provide me with links on what to download and how to install.
