What’s new in Apache OpenNLP 2.5.5 In total, this release tackles 27 issues, brings multiple dependency updates, bug fixes (e.g. OPENNLP-1545), and several additions. Accessing (computed) probabilities is now possible in thread-safe probabilistic ME classes via the probs() method (OPENNLP-1757) Loading of pre-trained OpenNLP (UD) models from the classpath was made (even) easier (see: OPENNLP-1729). The 2.5.5 release relies on version 1.3 of the opennlp-models , providing access to pre-trained models for a total of 36 languages.
