Corpus Processor

Tool to work with Corpus Linguistics. Corpus Processor converts corpora between different formats for use in Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools.

The first purpose of Corpus Processor and its current only feature is to transform corpora found in Linguateca into the format used for training in Stanford NER.

Linguateca is an excellent source of corpora in Portuguese.

Stanford NER is an excellent implementation of Named Entity Recognition.

Installation

Corpus Processor is a Ruby Gem. To install it, given a working installation of Ruby, run:

$ gem install corpus_processor

Usage

Convert corpus from HAREM format to Stanford-NER format:

$ corpus-processor process [INPUT_FILE [OUTPUT_FILE]]

Results

For an example of converting one corpus with Corpus Processor, refer to this gist.

The corpus is from Linguateca and the training used Stanford NER.
