nlp - Simple Natural Language Processing Startup for Java -


this question has answer here:

i willing start developing project on nlp. dont know of tools available. after googling month. realized opennlp can solution.

unfortunately dont see complete tutorial on using api. of them lacking of general steps. need tutorial ground level. have seen lot of downloads on site dont know how use them? need train or something?.. here want know-

how install / set nlp system can-

  1. parse english sentence words
  2. identify different parts of speech

you need 'parse' each sentence. know this, explicit, in nlp, term 'parse' means recover hierarchical syntactic structure. common types constituent structure (e.g., via context-free grammar) , dependency structure.

if need hierarchical structure, i'd recommend consider starting parser. parsers i'm aware of include pos tagging during parsing, , may provide higher accuracy tagging finite-state pos taggers (caveat - i'm more familiar constituent parsers dependency parsers. it's possible or dependency parsers require pos tags input).

the big downside parsing time complexity. finite-state pos taggers run @ thousands of words per second. greedy dependency parsers considerably slower, , constituent parsers run @ 1-5 sentences per second. if don't need hierarchical structure, want stick finite-state pos tagger efficiency.

if decide need parse structure, few recommendations:

i think stanford parser suggested @aab includes both constituent parser , dependency parser.

the berkeley parser ( http://code.google.com/p/berkeleyparser/ ) pretty well-known pcfg constituent parser, achieves state-of-the-art accuracy (equal or superior stanford parser, believe), , reasonably efficient (~3-5 sentences per second).

the bubs parser ( http://code.google.com/p/bubs-parser/ ) can run high-accuracy berkeley grammar, , improves efficiency around 15-20 sentences/second. full disclosure - i'm 1 of primary researchers working on parser.

warning: both of these parsers research code, problems engenders. i'd love see people using bubs, if it's of use you, give try , contact me problems, comments, suggestions, etc.

and couple wikipedia references background if needed:
