This package manages a shared database of bibliography references which can be used to generate bibtex (to include in your paper) and HTML files (for your publications page).

If you're in a hurry and just want a bib file, here you go:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/percyliang/refdb/master/all.bib

Adding new entries to the database

To add a new entry, append to data/<username>.rb, for example:

entry!('liang11dcs',
  author('Percy Liang and Michael I. Jordan and Dan Klein'),
  title('Learning Dependency-Based Compositional Semantics'),
  acl(2011),
  pages(590, 599),
nil)

Fields like author, title, and pages are what you'd expect from bibtex. You can also use macros such as acl(2011) (defined in data/venues.rb) to make it easier to type and to maintain consistency. Consistency of capitalization and duplicate entries are automatically checked when you run ./generate.rb.

You can also import from existing bibtex (either from a file or stdin):

./import.rb

Paste in your bibtex format and the corresponding Ruby code will be appended to data/<username>.rb.

Note: when you have finished pasting your bibtex at the command line, type Ctrl-D to terminate stdin. The script will then continue.

There might be errors so it's a good idea to double check what's been added.

After you do this, make sure you rebuild all.bib:

make

Then git add data/<username>.rb if necessary. To commit your changes, do git commit -am "add", git push or make a pull request.

Printing/querying the database

To output a bibtex file:

./generate.rb bib out=all.bib

To output an HTML file:

./generate.rb html out=all.html

To output a text file:

./generate.rb text out=all.txt

To filter the entries:

./generate.rb html author='Percy Liang' title=Publications out=pliang.html
./generate.rb bib search='hidden markov model'
./generate.rb bib tags='semantic parsing'
