| The Apache OpenNLP team is pleased to announce the release of version 1.7.0 of Apache OpenNLP. |
| |
| The Apache OpenNLP library is a machine learning based toolkit for the processing of natural language text. |
| |
| It supports the most common NLP tasks, such as tokenization, sentence segmentation, part-of-speech tagging, named entity extraction, chunking, parsing, and coreference resolution. |
| |
| The OpenNLP 1.7.0 binary and source distributions are available for download from our download page: <http://opennlp.apache.org/cgi-bin/download.cgi> |
| |
| The OpenNLP library is distributed by Maven Central as well. See the Maven Dependency page for more details: <http://opennlp.apache.org/maven-dependency.html> |
| |
| This release introduces many new features, improvements and bug fixes. The API has been improved for a better consistency and deprecated methods were removed. Now Java 1.8 and Maven 3.3.9 are required. |
| |
| Additionally the release contains the following noteworthy changes: |
| |
| - OpenNLP is up to 50% faster at analyzing content |
| - A lot of deprecated code has been removed |
| - Code base has been cleaned up |
| - There is a new brat annotation service |
| - Documentation was improved and extended |
| - A Naive Bayesian Classifier implementation was added |
