# Script for running mate-tools on the data

# Pre-requisites: 1. Java installed on your machine.
#				  2. Install the mate-tools python wrapper from 'https://github.com/bjut-hz/py-mate-tools'

# Usage : python mateparsing.py [input_file] [output_path]
# Note : The output path must be a directory to which results.out is written. DON'T SPECIFY A FILE PATH HERE!!!
