Problem initializing the German coreNLP

[RainerFreudenthaler]

I'm trying to initialize the German version of coreNLP using your package.

My code looks like this:

install.packages('cleanNLP')

install.packages('RCurl')

require(RCurl)

require(cleanNLP)

cnlp_download_corenlp()

cnlp_download_corenlp(type = 'de', 
                      url = 'http://nlp.stanford.edu/software/stanford-german-corenlp-2018-10-05-models.jar',
                      url_core = FALSE, force = TRUE)

cnlp_init_corenlp(language = 'de')

When I run the code, I get the following error message:

Error in rJava::.jnew("edu.stanford.nlp.pipeline.StanfordCoreNLP", prop) : 
  edu.stanford.nlp.io.RuntimeIOException: Error while loading a tagger model (probably missing model file)

Do you have any suggestions what the problem could be?

Best, Rainer

Yes, I think that this might be solved with the most recent dev version of cleanNLP (looks like you have version 2.3.0). If you re-install with:

devtools::install_github("statsmaths/cleanNLP")

That should give you you the newer version.
