Frequently when running CoreNLP I am seeing this in stderr:

Cannot find node in dependency for word said

This seems to happen for the verb that connects a quote to its speaker, which is pretty concerning for my application, quote extraction / characterization.

(Edit) What does this warning mean in practice? Is this a known problem, and is there a fix?

  • which pipelines you are using and what is your sentence for which you are seeing this warning. – skadya Feb 04 '17 at 18:43
  • You're right, this problem happens when you try to process a text which has a verb indicating speech after a quote. These warnings (which means no big worries) are meant to be fixed in recent versions of NLP, what version are you using? The latest? Plus: *dkpro-core* handles this issue much better than Stanford lib, try giving it a chance. – diogo Feb 06 '17 at 12:51
  • @skadya, I'll be returning to this project in the next "duty cycle", about three days, thanks, will respond then – Edward Newell Feb 06 '17 at 21:26
  • @dscastro yes, using the latest as of posting, 3.7.0. Thanks for the tip about `dkpro-core`. For this project, CoreNLP is a dependency that I won't change, but I'll check it out. – Edward Newell Feb 06 '17 at 21:30
  • @skadya if it is a warning, does that mean there is nothing to worry about? Or rather, do you know what this warning means? – Edward Newell Feb 06 '17 at 21:32
