## Description: The mission of OpenNLP is the creation and maintenance of software related to Machine learning based toolkit for the processing of natural language text ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing Issues for the board: None ## Membership Data: Apache OpenNLP was founded 2012-02-14 (12 years ago) There are currently 25 committers and 17 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Martin Wiesner on 2023-06-24. - No new committers. Last addition was Atita Arora on 2023-02-28. ## Project Activity: Apache OpenNLP 2.3.2 was a maintenance release with minor improvements and was released on 2024-02-04. A pull request to Apache Lucene to upgrade its OpenNLP dependency to 2.3.2 was merged last month. Lucene was previously using OpenNLP 1.9.4 so it was a bit behind. Now that Lucene is using the newest version, there is work being done in Apache Solr to use the new features. This may help make the community more active. ## Community Health: The community activity was slower this period compared the previous periods, but the community remains healthy.

## Description: The mission of OpenNLP is the creation and maintenance of software related to Machine learning based toolkit for the processing of natural language text ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache OpenNLP was founded 2012-02-14 (9 years ago) There are currently 22 committers and 15 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Koji Sekiguchi on 2017-10-09. - No new committers. Last addition was Tim Allison on 2020-01-28. ## Project Activity: The project successfully voted and released its first set of models (sentence, parts-of-speech, and token) models available under the Apache 2.0 license. Work is under way to provide users an automated means of using these models with the goal of reducing the steps required to use OpenNLP. ## Community Health: Community activity this quarter was low. The work that was done to train the models is not reflected in the GitHub activity stats. Code activity and pull requests will likely increase as work to integrate the newly trained models is started.

These tasks are usually required to build more advanced text processing services. Development ------------------ Last month the development stayed active and we had commits almost every day from different committers. Most of the changes were related to bug fixes and smaller improvements. A discussion about the first OpenNLP release as a TLP was started on the dev list, but it will likely take 2 or 3 month until the release is finished.

Development ------------------ All the graduation tasks are done and the team is now focused on the development of OpenNLP again, there have been a few commits almost every day from different committers. Much work and time went into bug fixing and smaller improvements. There is now integrated training support for the coreference component which is very important for others to be able to work on the code. The training is needed to ensure that code changes don't break anything. Community --------------- The community is active and the project received a few smaller patches. We will likely soon receive a clojure interface layer contribution and will hopefully be able to integrate the clojure minded OpenNLP user better into the community at Apache.

The Apache OpenNLP library is a machine learning based toolkit for the processing of natural language text. Incubating since November, 2011. It supports the most common NLP tasks, such as tokenization, sentence segmentation, part-of-speech tagging, named entity extraction, chunking, parsing, and coreference resolution. These tasks are usually required to build more advanced text processing services. OpenNLP also includes maximum entropy and perceptron based machine learning. The team was extended by two new committers, Boris Galitsky and Aliaksandr Autayeu. We worked towards our graduation and had a positive community and recommendation vote. Our community became more active and we saw a couple of new faces on the user and development mailing list. Signed off by mentor:

Our second release at Apache is now out for vote and will hopefully be released soon. After some delay through legal issues we have finally accepted the syntactic generalization contribution from Boris Galitsky and he did send in a couple of patches to improve it. The development team is active and the development of the next release will now start. A list of the the most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: * Establish open regression tests for the parser and coreference component * Identify and encourage new contributors on the path to committership

We almost finished the development for our next release (1.5.2) and second release in the Incubator and will start testing it soon. The development team is still active and most of the changes have been done by four independent committers. This week Boris Galitsky proposed on the mailing list to contribute a component for syntactic generalization which we will hopefully be able to accept. Furthermore we started to work on tooling for an annotation project in our sandbox and hope to be able to attract new contributors through this effort.

We started to integrate a couple of new features and will soon start testing for our second release at Apache. To solve our training data problem we created a proposal for an annotation project which suggest to label AL 2.0 licensable text documents with semantic annotations. There is still good traffic on both the user and dev mailing list.

These tasks are usually required to build more advanced text processing services. OpenNLP entered incubation on 11/23 2010. We just did our first Apache release on 2nd of May and are now planning which features/work will go into the next release. For instance we started to discuss/plan a big refactoring of our machine learning code, custom feature generation for the name finder, dictionary support for the name finder, etc. There is still good traffic on both the user and dev mailing list. A couple of users asked questions about how OpenNLP can be trained for new languages.

We are right now working on getting our first release out, we already created two release candidates and are busy with testing and bug fixing. The release will hopefully be released in late March or early April. For the testing we are now using all supported public data sets and distribute the task among the committers which brings us closer to our third goal to have open regression tests. There is still good activity on our user and dev mailing list.

Since we last reported in January we continued to fill up jira with more issues, rewrote our maven based build to comply with general Apache rules and to be ready to create our first release, fixed a few minor bugs and re-factored parts of the chunker, migrated the SourceForge wiki documentation into a docbook for inclusion in future releases, added build instructions to the website. We decided to focus on our first release, which will hopefully be out in March. The release will just contain OpenNLP without any statistical models to avoid any legal issues which might delay the release. Regression testing will mostly be done on private data. There has been daily activity on dev mailing list and a little less on the user mailing list.

There has been a lot of activity on the dev list, and we're filling up Jira with issues to resolve before we can release. Our users also seem to have found the way from sourceforge to Apache, as there is also activity on the user list.
