Good explanation, helps a lot for beginners.

Jonathan: yea, this article is a little bit out of date, since I’ve written this the Opennlp project has updated their models with the 1.5 release, for the 1.5 release you’ll need the models here: http://opennlp.sourceforge.net/models-1.5/

Also, the latest documentation for the project will always be on the github page here: https://github.com/dakrone/clojure-opennlp which should always be up to date (even if my posts get a little stale). The updated version of this file can be found here: https://github.com/dakrone/clojure-opennlp/blob/master/examples/contextfinder.clj

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll work on updating the post for changes in the new versions.

Very cool project. Quick question… I’m using the EnglishSD.bin.gz from:
http://opennlp.sourceforge.net/models/english/sentdetect/

but get an error loading it:
contextfinder=> (def get-sentences (make-sentence-detector “models/EnglishSD.bin.gz”))
opennlp.tools.util.InvalidFormatException: Missing the manifest.properties! (NO_SOURCE_FILE:52)

Is this a sign of deeper config issues or a missing library showing up? I’m in a lein repl that otherwise runs the clojure-nlp features. Any pointers appreciated–I’ve a strong LISP background, but debugging where clojure meets java is opaque ATM.

Very interesting post. You should combine you approach with the TF-IDF weightings of a lucene index. Here is a new project I am working on that is very complementary to your work:

http://code.google.com/p/iks-project/source/browse/sandbox/iks-autotagging/trunk/README.txt

This is based on the MoreLikeThis similarity of Lucene:

http://lucene.apache.org/java/3_0_1/api/all/org/apache/lucene/search/similar/MoreLikeThis.html

I was planning to use this to identify known named entities detected by the OpenNLP name finder by using a context of a few sentences around the span that contains the detected name.

[…] This library is available on clojars for inclusion in leiningen projects, or on github if you’re interested in the source. This is a fairly new project, and not all OpenNLP features are exposed at the moment so feedback is definitely encouraged. In the next post I’ll explain an in-depth example of how these functions can be used to enhance a searching engine. EDIT: It’s up! Check out “Context searching using clojure-opennlp.” […]
