Martin Toepfer commented on UIMA-3530:
--------------------------------------
I've also been thinking about such a feature (for dealing with German
inflection) -- maybe we can find a quick fix.
I've had a look at the source code and agree with Peter that a solution for
full-featured regular expressions is not that simple. Nevertheless, how would
you think about something like a template mechanism? For example:
A dictionary with the entry "kalt$$" could be called from within Ruta like
Document {->MARKFAST(ADJ, adjList, ..., "$$"=>("","e","er","es","en"))};
which should add "kalt", "kalte", "kalter", "kaltes", "kalten" to the trie.
Would that be applicable to your Greek or Russian dictionaries?
(A collegue of mine once used this for modeling adjectives in German
terminologies).
In the end, maybe one should instead think about using stemming or
lemmatization (if possible). Or you could wrap the wordlist creation with your
own code.

> It would greatly speed up and simplify the implementation of dictionary

> Especially for inflectional languages such as Greek or Russian, this feature
