need some help!
I’m trying to write some code in objective-c that requires part-of-speech tagging, and ideally also named entity recognition. I don’t have much interest in “rolling my own”, so I’m looking for a decent library to use for this purpose. Obviously the more accurate the better, but we’re not talking anything critical here — so as long as it’s generally pretty accurate that’s good enough.
It’s going to be English-only, at least for the time being, but I don’t want to have to do any training of models myself. So whatever the solution, it has to have an English language model already built.
And finally, it has to be available via a commercial-friendly license (e.g. BSD/Berkeley, LGPL). Can’t do GPL or anything restrictive like that, though I’m open to paying a small amount for a commercial license if that’s the only option.
C, C++ or Obj-C code is all fine.
So: Anyone familiar with something that’d do the trick here? Thanks!!
I suggest you check out the iOS 5 beta release notes.
