All, I am calling a vote to release the Apache OpenNLP models trained on the Universal Dependencies corpus.
The models and text files showing training and evaluation results along with information about how the models were trained are available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/opennlp/ud-models-1.0/ Upon a successful vote the models will be made available on the Apache OpenNLP website on the Models Download page ( https://opennlp.apache.org/models.html). Work will then continue on a pull request to modify OpenNLP to be able to automatically download and use these pre-trained models when a local model is not provided by the user. (The goal being to lower the barrier of entry into OpenNLP and make its use more convenient.) Please vote on releasing the models as model version 1.0. The vote is open for at least the next 72 hours. Only votes from the OpenNLP PMC are binding but everyone is welcome to check the models and vote. The vote passes if at least three binding +1 votes are cast. [ ] +1 Release the models as version 1.0. [ ] -1 Do not release the models as 1.0 because... Thanks! Jeff
