The EXCITEMENT Open Platform (EOP) is a generic architecture and a comprehensive implementation for textual inference in multiple languages. The platform includes state-of-art algorithms, a large number of knowledge resources, and facilities for experimenting and testing innovative approaches.

This documentation is for the EOP developers only. In contrast users who want to use EOP as it is should use the documentation of the released EOP distributions that are available from: http://hltfbk.github.io/Excitement-Open-Platform/

Release Schedule

EOP 1.2.2

date: March 2015

new features:

• Scorer for evaluating multi-class classification problems (e.g. Entailment, Contradiction, Unknown).

TO DO:

• LAP based on DKPro 1.7 (Roberto, DKPro people) [working time:4, status: in progress]
  Description: moving to DKPro 1.7 allows to exploit DKPro improvements and using new tools/model for preprocessing.

• Adding a scorer for evaluating multi-class classification problems (e.g. Entailment, Contradiction, Unknown). (Roberto) [working time:2, status: completed]
  Description: the current scorer can not evaluate multi-class classification problems; working with data sets like RTE-5 and SICK requires this type of evaluation.

• Bulgarian pipeline (Iliana, Roberto) [working time:4, status: in progress]

  • moving CLARK (Bulgarian pipeline) data from lap/resources to a jar file and use it as a dependency
  • allowing CLARK to be used with EOPRunner from the command line

  Description: (i) if you commit binary files to the repository, the size of the repository will become much larger. (ii) the current versions of the Bulgarian pipeline is not available from the command like.

• Removing src/site from the EOP project (Roberto) [working time:1, status: in progress]
  Description: this directory is not necessary any more.

• Removing solved issues from the the issues tracker. (Meni, Roberto) [working time:2, status: in progress]
  Description: the issue tracker seems to report a number of issues, some of which may be already been resolved. (Meni, Roberto) [working time:2, status: in progress]

• Checking if we can remove the directories derivbase, dewakdistributional-data-10k and dewakdistributional-data from the eop-resources file. (Meni) [working time:2, status: in progress]
  Description: this directories are already present in the GitHub repository.

• Updating AdArte EDA (Roberto) [working time:4, optional task, status: not planned] Description: The EDA uses an alignment component that has been deprecated; we would need to use a new version of it.
