Quaesitor-cli NPM

quaesitor-cli

A node-based command–line interface for QUAESITOR.

QUAESITOR locates Latin scientific names in Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish text (approximately 96% of biodiversity titles). It uses a combination of pattern matching (regular expressions), a Bloom filter, and a trio of complementary ensembled neural networks. A live version of the web interface is hosted at the New York Botanical Garden.

install

npm install quaesitor-cli
ln -s node_modules/quaesitor-cli/dist/index.js quaesitor

Due to the way @tensorflow/tfjs-node installs, using the ‘-g’ (‘--global’) option, does not work on many systems. The local npm install, shown above, was tested on Ubuntu 20.04 (node v12.20.1) and MacOS 10.14 (node v12.16.1).
