I am new to NLP. I need basic idea to get started with installation of it. I have gone through LingPipe and open NLP installation section, but i did not get why to install maven and additional training sets , models etc. Any brief explanation of installation would be helpful for me to get started with coding. Platform - Ubuntu

Sorry if this question is too generic or simple

Answer 1

I used OpenNLP in my project. I think this instructions will help you to go through OpenNLP Library. Follow this document

• Download OpenNLP Library and add it to your build path
• Download trained models and put it to a folder
• modelIn = new FileInputStream("path");

InputStream modelIn = null;

try {
  modelIn = new FileInputStream("en-pos-maxent.bin");
  POSModel model = new POSModel(modelIn);
}
catch (IOException e) {
  // Model loading failed, handle the error
  e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
  if (modelIn != null) {
    try {
      modelIn.close();
    }
    catch (IOException e) {
    }
  }
}
