RE: [UK OFFICIAL] Baleen - UIMA Based Text Analytics Framework
Classification: UK OFFICIAL
Afternoon everyone,
In response to Petr's comments, we have added some additional information to the Wiki section of the Baleen GitHub repo. We haven't added any new information (yet), but we have collated information that is already available into one place to make it more accessible. If there are any specific areas that people feel could do with more attention, please let us know and we'll see what we can do.

Thanks,
James

A number of collection readers, annotators and consumers are included as part of the framework.

Thanks for the heads up. However, I haven't found any clear summary of what is the framework capable of right now - I think you might want to expand the generic description a bit with some examples and use-cases. I have been looking around a bit and seems like e.g.
https://github.com/dstl/baleen/blob/master/baleen/baleen-annotators/src/main/java/uk/gov/dstl/baleen/annotators/cleaners/MergeAdjacentQuantities.java
is something that could be pretty useful, but you might want to make it easier to discover the capabilities to get more users / contributors.
Best,
Petr Baudis

Hi Jens,
I haven't tried, but I suspect it wouldn't be as straight forward as taking a Baleen component and using it with another UIMA based system. Whilst Baleen is UIMA based, we did have to augment UIMA with a lot of additional functionality to get it to do what we wanted. As that additional functionality doesn't exist in those other pipelines (or, at least, not in the same form) it's unlikely that the components will work without modification.
It's more likely though that components could go the other way (e.g. a vanilla UIMA component working in Baleen), although again we haven't tried that.
James

Hi James, this looks interesting and there seem to be quite a few components available.
How interoperable is it with e.g. DKPro (or other UIMA components), i.e.
could I just take AEs from Baleen and use them within a DKPro pipeline?
Thanks,
Jens
