learning semantic parsers via interaction

Added the interactive package for the paper Naturalizing a programming language through interaction (ACL 2017).

SEMPRE v2.1.1

Stable release of SEMPRE v2.1

Changes from SEMPRE 1.0 to SEMPRE 2.0:

• Updated tutorial and documentation.
• Refactored into a core part for building semantic parsers in general; interacting with Freebase and Stanford CoreNLP are just different modules.
• Removed fbalignment (EMNLP 2013) and paraphrase (ACL 2014) components to avoid confusion. If you want to reproduce those systems, use SEMPRE 1.0.

Changes from SEMPRE 2.0 to SEMPRE 2.1:

• Added the tables package for the paper Compositional semantic parsing on semi-structured tables (ACL 2015).
• Add and overnight package for the paper Building a semantic parser overnight (ACL 2015).
• Minor updates to documentation and utilities.

Initial release of SEMPRE for Freebase Q/A.

This is the first official release of SEMPRE, which was mainly used for the question-answering on Freebase task. It contains the code and data to reproduce the implementation of the following two papers:

EMNLP 2013: Question Answering on Freebase from Question-Answer Pairs
ACL 2014: Semantic parsing via paraphrasing

Subsequent versions of SEMPRE are not backward compatible enough for reproducibility.
