SUTime Question

[Anthony Arroyo]

Not sure if you can help me, but I'm looking for a way to set there reference date/time for a document, so that SUTime returns better results. In the online demo, you specify a date/time for the article, but I can't figure out a way to do it with your (excellent) python wrapper.

Though I also can't fix the problem, I will send e-mail to a mailing list of CoreNLP for the problem. Now I 'm not accepted to subscribe yet (It may be because of summer vocation?), so please wait.

Thanks!

I was not accepted subscribing by my mistake... A developer answers the mail quickly: https://mailman.stanford.edu/pipermail/java-nlp-user/2013-August/003862.html

I think he recommended couple possible ways of solving the problem are too difficult to implement, because my python wrapper uses the user selected one of below two ways:

1. CoreNLP's interactive shell (This is called StanfordCoreNLP.parse in my wrapper),

2. CoreNLP's text file input option (StanfordCoreNLP.batch_parse in my wrapper).

Unfortunately, both ways can send only text information after initializing CoreNLP. If you really want to set a reference date in python, I'm recommending using regular expression to replace SUTime results, or write an interface to CoreNLP with input from xml documents.

Sorry, I couldn't help you.
