+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You

+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed

+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and

+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+# DeReKoVecs (server and web app)
+
+Visualizes paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations between words based on  [wang2vec](https://github.com/wlin12/wang2vec) / structured skip-n-gram (Ling et al. 2015) word embedding networks.
+
+DeReKoVecs (Fankhauser & Kupietz 2017, 2019; Kupietz et al. 2018) serves as part of the new open lab of the Corpus Linguistics group at IDS Mannheim. Similar to the
+Collocation Database <a href="http://corpora.ids-mannheim.de/">CCDB</a> (Keibel &amp; Belica 2007, Belica 2011), DeReKoVecs serves for investigating and comparing
+of measurements, dimension reduction procedures, visualizations etc., to track down detailed paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations
+between words based on their use in very large corpora such as the German Reference Corpus DeReKo (Kupietz et al. 2010).
+
+## Installation
+
+### Dependencies
+
+* [libcollocaltordb](https://korap.ids-mannheim.de/gerrit/plugins/gitiles/private/collocatordb) >= v1.3.0
+
+### Build and install
+
+```bash
+cpanm https://github.com/Akron/Mojolicious-Plugin-Localize.git
+cpanm --installdeps .
+
+perl Makefile.PL
+make
+make install
+```
+
+Detailed and a known to work installation procedure can also be found in the [GitLab CI pipeline script](.gitlab-ci.yml).
+
+## Run
+
+### Debugging mode
+
+```bash
+MOJO_CONFIG=my-debug-server.conf morbo script/derekovecs-server
+```
+
+### Production mode
+
+```bash
+MOJO_CONFIG=my-production-server.conf hypnotoad script/derekovecs-server
+```
+
+The web user interface will than be available for example at <http://localhost:3000>
+
+## Web Service API
+In addition to the web user interface, derekovecs also provides a web api which is however still very unsystematic and **not stable**.
+
+| Command      | Parameters | Description |
+| ----------- | ----------- | ----------- |
+| / | word, n, dedupe, cutoff, json=1 | get paradigmatic and syntagmatic neighbours, from word embeddings |
+| getCollocationAssociation | w, c       | get association scores for specific node collocate pairs |
+| getClassicCollocators | w        | get count based collocates of word w|
+
+### Examples
+```bash
+GET 'http://localhost:3000/?word=Impfgegner&n=10&dedupe=0&sort=0&cutoff=1000000&json=1' | json_pp |less
+```
+
+```bash
+curl -L http://localhost:3000/getClassicCollocators?w=Migrationshintergrund
+```
+
+```bash
+$ GET 'http://localhost:3000/getCollocationAssociation?w=triftigen&c=Grund'
+ { "f1": 29164,"w1":"triftigen", "N": 53225832863, "collocates": [{"word":"Grund","f2":9868871,"f":5425,"npmi":0.286138,"pmi":7.3855,"llr":44929.5,"lfmd":32.1963,"md":19.7909 ,"dice":0.00108026,"ld":4.1456,"lncount":0,"rncount":5377,"lnpmi":-1,"rnpmi":9.95764,"af":4.16006,"win":286,"afwin":24}]}
