I am looking for a simple but ‘good enough’ Named Entity Recognition library (and dictionary) for java, I am looking to process emails and documents and extract some ‘basic information’ like: Names, places, Address and Dates
I’ve been looking around, and most seems to be on the heavy side and full NLP kind of projects.
Any recommendations ?
BTW, I recently ran across OpenCalais which seems to havethe functionality I was looking after.
