parsing date-time range in natural language text with Apache OpenNLP
Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to parse a natural language text using
OpenNLP to extract date-time range(s) from it.
For example, given input text:
> *I have a meeting on Friday from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm.*
Output can be something in XML or JSON string, with Friday detected as
05-Sep-2014 (assuming today is Thu 04-Sep-2014) and 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm as a
time range.
I am familiar with SUTime library, part of the Stanford NLP software, which
can be used to do this. However, I was hoping to achieve similar results
using Apache OpenNLP.
Please let me know if there is a way for this.
Thanks

That would make a great contribution. I am sure there are others here
who are interested in
that.
The best way to start is to open a jira issue and maybe post a proposal
here on the dev list
which describes your solution.

Hi,
I would like to contribute in making such type of a parser. I have opennlp
code in my system. Is there a way to collaborate with other contributors
who are planning to work on the same?
Thanks,

Apache OpenNLP doesn't distribute models. To get good performance it has
to be trained
on the user data. The models from the sourceforge page work ok when you
have to
process news articles from the 90s.

Hi,
The task of extracting time expression from natural language text requires
mapping numeric time into natural language string.
So, it doesn't depend on using OpenNLP.
And as i know, OpenNLP doesn't still have those utilities for various
languages.
please, find this. http://opennlp.sourceforge.net/models-1.5/
Other than that, how about finding time expression extracting utilities
something?
sorry....

Hello,
we don't have a component to parse time/date values.
The name finder will be good at detecting the time/date mentions.
It would probably be really nice to add a parser for those.
A contribution would be very welcome.
HTH,
