Hi,
i was looking for the coreference resolution using OpenNLP and UIMA. I
found out that this does not exist in the opennlp-uima code base.
Also this jira issue does not have any pointers to it:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENNLP-70
I found out that a lot of work has been done in the package
opennlp.tools.coref.
I want to understand a few things:
1. Is the code in opennlp.tools.coref package is ready for a wider
consumption - other than few items like UIMA annotation creation and CAS
services?
2. If the answer to the first query is "yes". Can I start with a simple use
case like use the package to work on?
3. I didn't find any good entry point for the coref, like a JUnit test case
to start with. If anyone can tell me an entry point and some pointers to
start that would of great help.
We currently cannot train the coref component. For this we would need
to have access to coref training data. Which I do not have.
That is the reason why it cannot be really maintained by the community.
I have never really used it, but I would like to change that and also
work on
the training part. I as well need the UIMA Integration.
I assume the code is easy to get stable for production use, but it might
need
a bit time.
Anyway it would be really great if you could help us to improve the
situation.
