We are pleased to announce the release of INCEpTION 0.13.0.
INCEpTION is an extensible web-based collaborative environment
for text annotation. It integrates machine-learning-based annotation
support, knowledge base management and corpus building into
a single comprehensive platform.
This is a feature release.
Important upgrade note
If you are running INCEpTION behind a reverse proxy and have so far had a line like server.contextPath=/XXX in your settings.properties file, please replace it with server.servlet.context-path=/XXX.
Notable changes since INCEpTION 0.12.4
- Added ability to define upper/lower bounds for numeric features
- Added basic inline XML export support
- Added ability to have multi-line input fields for string features
- Improved re-rendering of brat view when window is resized
- Improved speed and resource usage of recommenders
- Improved look-and-feel of document metadata sidebar
- Improved reloading / focus behavior in annotation detail editor sidebar
- Improved performance when working with many CASes in parallel (thanks to UIMA 3.1.1)

- Fixed non-serializable error message when using active learning
- Fixed issue when using link features in document metadata annotations
