CogCompNLP

This project collects a number of core libraries for Natural Language Processing (NLP) developed by Cognitive Computation Group.

How to use it?

Depending on what you are after, follow one of the items:

• If you want to annotate your raw text (i.e. no need to open the annotator boxes to retrain them) you should look into the pipeline.
• If you want to train and test an NLP annotator (i.e. you want to open an annotator box), see the list of components below and choose the desired one. We recommend using JDK8, as no other versions are officially supported and tested.
• If you want to read a corpus you should look into the corpus-readers module.
• If you want to do feature-extraction you should look into edison module.

CogComp's main NLP libraries

Each library contains detailed readme and instructions on how to use it. In addition the javadoc of the whole project is available here.
