Morning all,

A new version of Baleen, the UIMA based entity extraction and text analyt=
ics framework developed by Dstl (part of the UK Ministry of Defence) has =
been released. This version includes the following improvements:


*         New Annotator: MongoStemming uses a gazetteer and stemming to p=
erform a pseudo-fuzzy match and find gazetter terms in different tenses a=
nd plurals

*         New Cleaner: MergeAdjacent will merge adjacent entities of the =
same type

*         New Content Extractor: CsvContentExtractor splits CSV fields in=
to content and metadata

*         New Collection Reader: LineReader will read a single file into =
multiple documents by line

*         New REST API to get configuration parameters for components (e.=
g. annotators)

*         Significant changes to the way gazetteer annotators work, inclu=
ding changing from RadixTrees to MultiMaps and implementing the Aho-Coras=
ick algorithm, resulting in performance improvements for large gazetteers=
=20in the order of 100s

*         Lots of bug fixes and minor improvements

The latest release is available on GitHub: https://github.com/dstl/baleen=


Any feedback, suggestions, comments, issues and code contributions are we=
lcome! We're keen for people to help us improve it so that it's a useful =
tool for a wide range of people.
