Import edu.stanford.nlp.tagger.maxent.MaxentTagger fail

[faiyadhs007]

Hi,

I am trying to use your function for importing Stanford NLP Speech Tager. The error I get is on the import of the particular file:

Arguments to IMPORT must either end with ".*" or else specify a fully qualified class name:
"edu.stanford.nlp.tagger.maxent.MaxentTagger" fails this test.

What am I using?:

• MATLAB 2016b (Running on a mac)
• java version "1.8.0_51"
• stanford-postagger-full-2016-10-31

What did I do? :

• Added the stanford-postagger.jar using javaaddpath& verified if it was added using javaclasspath. It's added in a dynamic java path
• Place PosTaggerM.m in a directory and nglish-left3words-distsim.tagger in the same directory

Is there something I am missing in this?

Hi @faiyadhs007,

Thanks for the report. The current code has been tested with only version 3.4.1 of the PoS tagger (i.e. 2014-08-27 on the download page). See the discussion in #1 as well; perhaps there are some hints there which can help you debug any further issues.

The class structure has most likely changed since version 3.4.1 and I haven't kept this wrapper up to date with it. Any help in that regard or confirmation of setup where it works will be greatly appreciated!

Hope that helps.
