[Senseclusters-users] Help needed regarding Sense Clusters.

Respected Sir,

I've experimented with Sense Clusters using the datasets provided on the
site.
Now I want to use my own data with Sense Clusters.
I've the data in plain text files and I need to convert it to Senseval2
format as SenseCluster requires it in that format.
The script "text2sval.pl" converts plain text files into Senseval2 format.
For that, it asks for a KeyFile which is supposed to contain instance ids
and optional sense tags of the instances in the text file.
Though the keyfile is an optional argument to "text2sval.pl", its not giving
much clear output without key file.
    So, I want to know, whether its created manually(if so, is there any
standard procedure?) or any tool is used to create it?

    To make the point clear i'm giving a snapshot of both the input and
output below.

The Sample input to "text2sval.pl" is,

           *Since here i've not mentioned any KeyFile argument, its using
default "senseid", "instance id" and "lexelt iem".
            I want to know about how these 3 things are given in "keyfile",
whether manually or any tool is used here, is there any standard procedure
or what? *

          I hope, the point is much clear now.
          Sorry for the lengthy mail.

         Expecting your positive reply.
          Thanking you.
