TransPhoner

This repository contains the code for the CHI2014 paper: "TransPhoner: Automated Mnemonic Keyword Generation". The core library is implemented in Scala while a Play framework web app is used as a front end for demonstrating some simple applications. Running the web server should be fairly simple once the below prerequisites are in place:

Prerequisites

0. Scala 2.10.3 (http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads)
1. Play 2.2.2 (http://www.playframework.com/)
2. Make sure the Play and JDK paths are added to the system path

Running the webserver

To run server (on default port 9000):

   cd $TRANSPHONER
   play
   extractData
   run

Then direct your browser to http://localhost:9000 to check the server is running. Note that compilation might take a few seconds on the first access. To clean the state of the project run play clean at the root directory and to debug run play debug.

Development

We used IntelliJ IDEA for development so the below instructions pertain to generating a development project for that particular IDE. Other IDEs can be targeted by the Play framework in a similar manner.

1. Create idea project (see http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.0.x/IDE)

  cd $TRANSPHONER
  play
  idea

2. Open project with IntelliJ IDEA

3. Debugging

• Open Run/Debug Configurations dialog, then click Run -> Edit Configurations
  • Add a Remote configuration, then select Remote
  • Configure it:
    • Set a name
    • Transport: Socket
    • Debugger mode: Attach
    • Host: localhost
    • Port: 9999
  • Select module you imported
  • Close dialog - click Apply

Problems?

• Got sbt.ResolveException: download failed: [NOT FOUND ] org.slf4j#slf4j-api;1.6.6!slf4j-api.jar? Check plugins.sbt and make sure the Play version there matches your installed Play version in the line of the form: addSbtPlugin("play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.1.3")
