Dear list members,<br>
<br>
We are happy to announce the release of version 1.8 of our
multilingual, cross-domain, and easy-to-extend temporal tagger
HeidelTime. [1]<br>
<br>
In the context of the new version, Croatian resources were added -
developed and kindly provided by Luka Shukan et al. (University of
Zagreb). [2] Furthermore, the Italian resources were significantly
improved in the context of the EVALITA-2014 EVENTI task. [3]
Finally, we have made some processing speed and stability
improvements affecting the UIMA kit and standalone versions.<br>
<br>
In the meanwhile, 11 languages are supported (ordered
alphabetically): <br>
Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian,
Russian, Spanish, and Vietnamese.<br>
<br>
In addition, HeidelTime distinguishes between news-style documents
and narrative-style documents (e.g., Wikipedia articles) in all
languages. In addition, English colloquial (e.g., Tweets and SMS)
and scientific articles (e.g., clinical trails) are supported.<br>
<br>
HeidelTime is available at Google Code [1] as a UIMA component and
as a Java standalone version. If you want to briefly test it, there
is also an online demo. [4]<br>
<br>
In addition to HeidelTime itself, the UIMA HeidelTime kit contains
several collection readers and CAS consumers (mainly for processing
temporally annotated corpora) as well as analysis engines wrapping
several part-of-speech taggers to perform linguistic preprocessing
in all supported languages.<br>
<br>
Any kind of feedback is highly appreciated!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
The HeidelTime Team<br>
