Overview

MuNPEx is a multi-lingual noun phrase (NP) extraction 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.

MuNPEx has been developed by René Witte and is distributed as free/open source software under the GNU GPL license.
