We are happy to announce a new JoBimText version release! The most significant change is the ability to run JoBimText Holing Operations on Hadoop using UIMA pipelines. Here are the updates:

• Holing Operations on Hadoop
  This release comes with fully working bigram and trigram holing operations. A GPL-licensed Stanford Dependency parser is being evaluated and the ASL-licensed MaltParser is being integrated for the next release.
• DT generation pipeline for Hadoop reworked
  The new pipeline is more streamlined and offers different similarity scoring methods.
• Bim DT (Feature DT) calculation possible out-of-the box
  The Bim DT can be used to reduce sparsity issues when working with JoBimText models.
• Updates to the IThesaurus interface
  This involves missing methods, especially for access to the Bim DT and word-based resources like word clusters.
• Updated demonstration components for easier introduction to the codebase

You can download the latest version of JoBimText from Sourceforge.
