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: May 2015

new features:

• LAP based on DKPro 1.7

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

TO DO:

• LAP based on DKPro 1.7 (Gil) [working time:5, 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:2, status: completed]
  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 line.
  Working plan: moving CLARK (Bulgarian pipeline) data from lap/resources to a separate file (e.g. eop-resources). Users to use CLARK will set the global variable EOP_RESOURCES pointing to the directory eop-resources containing the data required by CLARK. Please note that CLARK is not able to read these files from a jar file!

• Removing src/site from the EOP project (Roberto) [working time:1, status: completed]
  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.

• Removing the directories derivbase, dewakdistributional-data-10k and dewakdistributional-data (Britta,Meni,Roberto) [working time:1, status: completed]
  Description: the same directories are present in the eop-resources file, GitHub repository, and artifactory. Some of them are deprecated too.
  Working plan: removing the directories derivbase, dewakdistributional-data-10k and dewakdistributional-data from the eop-resources file. Removing the directories derivbase, and dewakdistributional-data from core/../resources), as they are deprecated, while we do not have to touch dewakdistributional-data-10k

• 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.
