Stanford CoreNLP

This repository modifies Stanford CoreNLP as to allow Relation Extractor training with custom NER entities.

The default Relation Extractor classes that are compatible with training data formatted in the same way as Roth and Yih's data, as per the format described in http://cogcomp.cs.illinois.edu/page/resource_view/43.

More details are in http://nlp.stanford.edu/software/relationExtractor.html

FAQ

Why you modified CoreNLP?

Please note the following classes inside this repository: edu/stanford/nlp/ie/machinereading/domains/roth/RothCONLL04Reader.java edu/stanford/nlp/ie/machinereading/domains/roth/RothEntityExtractor.java

They contain hard coded list of possible entities in the input training data, as per the issue described in here: stanfordnlp/CoreNLP#359

This repository simply adds other entities I needed for my research on Information/Relation Extraction from academic papers.

I created a new parameter possibleEntities that can be used to send a list of entities for training. For a usage example, see here and here.

What is your research?

With Dr. Wei Wang from UNSW as my supervisor, I built an Information Extraction tool, focused in extracting information from academic papers as to build knowledge graphs.

Why this is not a fork?

Note this repository contains the source code for the 3.6.0 release of the CoreNLP. Moreover, it's unclear from the commits in https://github.com/stanfordnlp/CoreNLP what is the version in there that matches 3.6.0, since releases are not created from their public repository. I then re-created the repository based on the content from stanford-corenlp-3.6.0-sources.jar file, part of the distribution.
