I've added you.

+1 to adding others from the team. Just send your github accounts and I'll
add you.

My github user is "kottmann".

We should add anyone else in the team who is interested.

Great! I'm thinking we should have some (perhaps minimal) documentation for
each model (or set of models). E.g. how to obtain the data, how to support
the format, etc.

Let me know your github account and I'll add you.

Re: French model for POS tagging with OpenNLP

[Jörn Kottmann]

The best way to support the French Treebank is to
add format support for it directly to OpenNLP.

See this jira:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENNLP-342

The French Treebank can be obtained for free and with
format support you can retrain the OpenNLP models yourself.
This can be interesting for various reasons, e.g. different feature 
generation,

mixing with custom private data, new incompatible version of OpenNLP, etc.

Hi Robert

We used (and still use) the French Treebank (Paris 7 Abeille) for building
machine learning models for (pre)processing French and some of them for
OpenNLP.
I say 'still use' because the French Treebank is not always consistent and
we are trying "to correct it" in some way.

About the release of the models.
Righ now, due to an unclear corpus license, the models we build are only
available for research purpose.
We are trying to see if we can release them under Apache License.
This objective is on its way.

To download them.
We do not have yet a dedicated web page for downloading the models we built
so far (even if you may find some of them already present on the web...).
If you are interested in, I can send them to you.

Hi,

We are actually using OpenNLP for POS tagging tasks (with news articles).
Part of the articles are in French, and I see there wasn't french POS
tagging model in the common OpenNLP package. Do you know a French public
model for POS tagging in Open NLP ?

Thanks,
Best regards,
Robert.

Jason, that is great, I would like to contribute and
provide updates for all the models on the SourceForge site.

Re: French model for POS tagging with OpenNLP

[Jason Baldridge]

That's great to hear. I thought the French Treebank licensing was pretty
clear about how artifacts that could be trained on it could be used. Please
keep us informed about the French data situation!

FWIW, while I very much want to see the creation of unrestricted data with
unrestricted annotations, I implore anyone who does find any models that
have been trained on a restricted corpus like that to only use them in
accordance with the wishes of the copyright holders. It's not just the
legally correct thing to do, but also the morally correct thing to do.

To begin the process of getting models organized and associated with clear
permissions, I've started the following GitHub repo:

https://github.com/utcompling/OpenNLP-Models

Nothing there yet, but there will be Norwegian models fairly soon. Any help
with getting more languages in there, or help with getting things set up in
general is most welcome!

Hi Robert

We used (and still use) the French Treebank (Paris 7 Abeille) for building
machine learning models for (pre)processing French and some of them for
OpenNLP.
I say 'still use' because the French Treebank is not always consistent and
we are trying "to correct it" in some way.

About the release of the models.
Righ now, due to an unclear corpus license, the models we build are only
available for research purpose.
We are trying to see if we can release them under Apache License.
This objective is on its way.

To download them.
We do not have yet a dedicated web page for downloading the models we built
so far (even if you may find some of them already present on the web...).
