Hi everyone, As mentioned on Slack, I’ve spent some time developing a gRPC-based OpenNLP backend in the sandbox. You can find the PR here: https://github.com/apache/opennlp-sandbox/pull/197. Feel free to try it out and share any feedback.
This setup allows users to run OpenNLP in a Docker environment (or on a large server) and access various inference features in their preferred programming language, such as Python. Currently, it only supports POS tagging, but adding the other features isn’t a big deal. It can be easily done if we are happy with it. Gruß Richard
