DrQA - Virtual Receptionist Server

Server used to provide answers to questions posted by the Virtual Receptionist project.

Requirements

• Docker

• Over 50GB of storage space (maybe more, unsure)

• At least 15GB of RAM free (I know right)

How to setup:

• Pull the docker image using the command: docker pull zacbran/drqa

• Run the image using the command: docker run -p 80:80/tcp -p 80:80/udp -it zacbran/drqa:latest

• When loaded, change directory to DrQA

• Use the command tar -xvf data.tar.gz to extract the dataset

• When done you can delete data.tar.gzto save some space

• Next we need surround, so clone: git clone https://github.com/dstil/surround.git and run the script inside the surround folder: python3.5 setup.py install

• Next clone this repository into the DrQA folder: git clone https://github.com/zacbran/drqa-server.git

• Now you can start the server using the command: python3.5 -m drqa-server.drqa_surround -c drqa-server/drqa_surround/config.yaml

• NOTE: It is important the script is run from the DrQA folder, not the drqa-server folder
