LingPipe 3.1.2 is a minor revision of 3.1.1. Here’s the change list:
Medline Citation Parser
Properly handle reprinted-in elements.
TF/IDF Classifier Unknown Features
Added code to ignore unknown features at classification time.
Cached Mention Identity Conditions
The identity conditions have been converted back to those for an Object and the unit tests changed. This was to make the code compatible with our forthcoming cross-document coreference code. In particular, this will not change the behavior of within-document coreference resolution.
Dynamic Classifier Handler Interfaces
Modified classifer evaluators and the dynamic LM classifiers to implement the classification handler interface.
LM Handler Interfaces
The trainable LM classes now implement the text handler interface.
Static Converter in Chunk Handler Adapter
Added a static method to convert chunkings to BIO-taggings.
Spelling Sizing and Tuning
There’s an added section on sizing and tuning the spelling corector.
