• various bug fixes for corpus parsing, candidate extraction&indexing, etc.
• enhanced ATR evaluation with new metrics including overall P/R/F, top N precision, top K percentage precision, etc.
• modified unit test with minimum pre-filtering and post-filteirng for GENIA (different settings reported in the paper)

• Fix compatibility bugs for Apache Solr 6.0 above
• Publish JATE2.0-beta to the Maven Central Repository

The JATE2.0 team is pleased to announce JATE 2.0 Beta version, which fully support both embedded mode and plugin mode.

1. architectural changes to integrate Apache Solr framework;
2. improve stability and scalability of JATE2.0 Embedded mode;
3. support JATE2.0 Plugin mode (e.g., SolrRequestHandler);
4. update customised Solr plugins for the support of advanced customisation in analyser chain (e.g.,jate.ComplexShingleFilter,EnglishLemmatisationFilterFactory, OpenNLPRegexChunkerFactory, OpenNLPPOSTaggerFactory, OpenNLPTokenizerFactory);
5. functionality and test/demo for embedded mode (e.g., example setting of analyser chain for two different corpus )
6. demo & utilities for GENIA and ACL RD-TEC benchmarking;
