Major Description
Hi,
As the Ruta documentation mentions, "writing rules that contain a first rule element with an optional quantifier is discouraged and will result in ignoring the optional attribute of the quantifier." A solution for overcoming this is to declare a rule element as a starting rule element by adding “@” directly in front of it. Thus, I am using ruta rules like
Token??{REGEXP(Token.posTag.value, "At")} // Article
Token??{REGEXP(Token.posTag.value, "Aj")} // Adjective
@Token{REGEXP(Token.posTag.value, "No")->MARK(Chunk, 1,3)}; // Noun
to mark nouns and optional pre-modifiers before them as chunks
However, the rule seems to match only Adj Noun sequences and not to match input like:
anArt|At anAdj|Aj aNoun|No
Thanks for looking into this.
