The Multi-Lingual Noun Phrase Extractor (MuNPEx) is a fast, robust, customizable, and well-tested noun phrase (NP) chunker component developed for the GATE architecture, implemented in JAPE. It currently supports English, German, French, and Spanish (in beta).

MuNPEx requires a part-of-speech (POS) tagger to work and can additionally use detected named entities (NEs) to improve chunking performance. Please read the documentation (or source code) for more details.
