  • It can be composed of:
    • a LingPipe Tokenization System.
    • a LingPipe POS System.
    • a LingPipe NER System.
    • a LingPipe WSD System.
• Example(s):

  • LingPipe is tool kit for processing text using computational linguistics. LingPipe is used to do tasks like:
    • Find the names of people, organizations or locations in news
    • Automatically classify Twitter search results into categories
    • Suggest correct spellings of queries
  • … LingPipe's architecture is designed to be efficient, scalable, reusable, and robust. Highlights include:
    • Java API with source code and unit tests;
    • multi-lingual, multi-domain, multi-genre models;
    • training with new data for new tasks;
    • n-best output with statistical confidence estimates;
    • online training (learn-a-little, tag-a-little);
    • thread-safe models and decoders for concurrent-read exclusive-write (CREW) synchronization; and
    • character encoding-sensitive I/O.
