Some extractors (get_money, get_durations) are simply not working, while get_dates is? help?

[abrljak]

Hi,
my app is a simple Rest API endpoint that is attempting to use 3 extractors (money, duration and dates) to locate the information in a supplied text. I pass in the same input text in all 3 extractors:

The amount of 120.000 USD should be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments starting with Jun 16, 2024.

I get the following output:

{
    "dates": [
        "Sun, 16 Jun 2024 00:00:00 GMT"
    ],
    "durations": [],
    "money": []
}

It looks like the get_dates() did it's job perfectly, but the other 2 extractors have not.
I have tried many different examples, tried downloading various tokenizers via nltk hoping that I am missing a dependency or something. I have no idea what might be wrong and I have a feeling I am missing something really simple.

Here is my complete code:

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify

import nltk
import lexnlp.extract.en.money
import lexnlp.extract.en.durations
import lexnlp.extract.en.dates

nltk.download('punkt')
nltk.download('averaged_perceptron_tagger')
nltk.download('wordnet')
nltk.download('stopwords')
nltk.download('maxent_ne_chunker')
nltk.download('words')

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/extract', methods=['POST'])
def extract_info():
    # Get the text from the request body
    data = request.json
    contract_text = data.get('text', '')

    if not contract_text:
        return jsonify({"error": "No text provided"}), 400

    money = list(lexnlp.extract.en.money.get_money(contract_text))
    durations = list(lexnlp.extract.en.durations.get_durations(contract_text))
    dates = list(lexnlp.extract.en.dates.get_dates(contract_text))

    return jsonify({
        "money": money,
        "durations": durations,
        "dates": dates
    })

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5000)

I am running everything inside docker - so here is also the complete dockerfile

FROM python:3.9-slim
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y build-essential git ca-certificates && \
    update-ca-certificates
RUN git --version
RUN pip install spacy numpy dateparser pyahocorasick unidecode quantulum3 regex nltk
RUN python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
RUN pip install git+https://github.com/LexPredict/[email protected]
RUN pip install Flask
WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app
CMD ["python", "app.py"]

Can you please help?

Thank you,
A.
