Change Log¶

v2.0 (2019-09-xx)¶

Implemented enhancements:

New model structure changed so that the Compound class is no longer at the root of all properties
Hierarchy changed so that documents own models, not parsers, so that the user doesn’t need to remember to pass in all the correct parsers.
Quantity based models, allowing for easy detection of units and values. Also allows for better comparisons of models.
Completely new table parsing routine with the incorporation of TableDataExtractor. This returns a more structured form for tables without any user input.
Automatically generated parsers based on the dimensional information of properties.
Forward looking Interdependency Resolution for detecting definitions of specifier terms and chemical names.
Improved Interdendency Resolution to account for more complex models.
Snowball integration where Snowball parsers can be used seamlessly alongside rule-based parsers.
Improved performance, with parsing up to 2x faster in real-world usage.
The incorporation of an evaluation package for measuring the performance of CDE.
Improved tokenisation when using new quantity based models.
Improved documentation, including a migration guide for users coming from older versions.
