[Not an issue - just seeking help] - Baleeen Forum?

[mattplindsay]

Hi all,
So sorry for opening this as an issue, but despite endless Googling, I can;t find anywhere to communicate with developers or Users of Baleen.

Is there a channel or forum anywhere?

I've setup a basic pipeline (using the html5 consumer) but despite using the OpenNLP Annotator, there are no Spans being added to the HMTL output.

Just seeking advice from others.

Many thanks

There is a Gitter chat room which used to be used, but hasn't been used much recently (I notice the link to it has vanished from the README for some reason).

Some troubleshooting tips.

1. Check the standard output (console output), if Baleen fails to load an OpenNLP model it will throw an Exception. If there is no Exception thrown, it means it successfully loaded the model.

2. If you are using the OpenNLP NER models, remember to add the "language.OpenNLP" annotator to the pipeline, preferably before the "stats.OpenNLP" one. For example, see below.

• language.OpenNLP
• class: stats.OpenNLP
  model: models/en-ner-person.bin
  type: Person
