Hi French data models for the Apache UIMA Sandbox HMM Tagger have been submitted via the jira issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2146
Documentation on the procedure to build the models from the French Treebank can be found here (accidentally it is in French...) http://enicolashernandez.blogspot.com/2011/05/construire-des-modelisations-du-french.html The SLA has been sent and we are waiting for receiving the ack. I have prepared an IP form but have not right to commit it... Finaly is there an "appropriate volunter" for executing the IP Clearance processing? I hope I have nothing forgotten.
