Hi,
I'm one of the Apache UIMA committers and while searching for an open
source language detection technology I found the
Nutch LanguageIdentifierPlugin.
First a short introduction what UIMA is:
UIMA stands for Unstructured Information Management Architecture and is
a component architecture and software framework implementation
for the analysis of unstructured content like text, video and audio
data. The framework has a pluggable architecture to build a chain of
analysis engines to analyze the content. For further and more detailed
information about UIMA, please refer to the Apache UIMA homepage:
http://incubator.apache.org/uima/
We are interested in such a language identifier technology to wrap it as
UIMA analysis engine, so that it can be used to build an analysis chain
to analyze text content.
We created an UIMA sandbox to host such analysis engines that everybody
can use these engines he is interested in to build an analysis chain for
his needs.
Now my questions:
Is there a place where I can find some more details about how your
language identification works?
Will it be possible to share the language identification technology so
that we can wrap it as UIMA analysis engine? My current understanding
is, that it is only available within Nutch but not separately.
Since both projects are hosted on Apache, I don't see any license issues
when using your technology. :-)
Thanks for your answers in advance!
