I¹m new to the list, however I just wanted to >state I¹m really happy with what I¹ve seen with OpenNLP so far. >My team and I have built a Tika Parser [1] that uses OpenNLP¹s >location NER model, along with a Lucene Geo Names Gazeeteer [2] >to create a ³GeoTopicParser². We are improving it day to day. >OpenNLP has definitely come a long way from when I looked at it >years ago in its nascence. > >That said, I keep hearing from people I talk to in the NLP community >that for example OpenNLP is ³old², and that I should be looking >at e.g., Stanford¹s NER, and NTLK, etc. Besides obvious license >issues (NER is GPL as an example and I am only interested in ALv2 >or permissive license code), I don¹t have a great answer to whether >or not OpenNLP is old or not active, or not as good, etc. Can >devs on this list help me answer that question? I¹d like to be >able to tell these NLP people the next time I talk to them that >no, in fact, OpenNLP isn¹t *old*, and it¹s active, and there are >these X and Y lines of development, and here¹s where they are >going, etc. > >Looking at: > >https://whimsy.apache.org/board/minutes/OpenNLP > > >I see that you guys have done GSoC, are working on a Naive Bayes >classifier; summarization components, are making releases (seemingly >more frequently, etc.).
