Jörn, thank you for updating the web site. I already added a news item. Now

 I already promoted the maven repo and pushed the release to the dist area,
 but it might take a bit until everything
 is available, the mirrors might need 24 hours to mirror the distributables.

Proposal: Move the coref component into the sandbox

2013-04-17 Thread Jörn Kottmann

Hi all,

I am proposing that we move the coref component into the sandbox until 
we manage
to train and test it on a publicly available dataset. In the current 
state it is complicated to maintain the
code because without training it can't be tested properly, which makes 
bigger changes on OpenNLP

difficult, for example the maxent refactoring.

I tried to implement parsers for the MUC corpus and added training code, 
but it does not yet work as
well as the current models on SourceForge. More work is needed to get 
everything fixed.


Additionally the code should be refactored like the other components in 
OpenNLP,
e.g. one model instantiation, build in evaluation, simple training, etc. 
There is a jira issue with

all the details.

Any opinions?

Jörn
