Is development on FACTORIE ongoing? I played with it a bit a long while back and loved the "imperative-declarative[1]" idea you all were pushing for model construction toolkits.

[1] edit: Because I'm not sure if I just made that phrase up or if it came from one of your papers, the idea that ML libraries that take declarative model descriptions are great, but what's even better is if we also have an imperative API that can dynamically generate those declarative specs for us, even based on train-time inputs, so we can essentially "program" the structure of a model but still benefit from keeping everything generalized and declarative at the base.

Development is very much ongoing and that's really interesting/nice-to-hear feedback :)
