[4]MuNPEx 1.0The noun phrase chunker MuNPEx [5] (Multi-Lingual Noun Phrase Extractor) is now available in the new and improved release v1.0. MuNPEx is a base NP chunker for the GATE framework and implemented in JAPE. It is fast, robust, customizable, well-tested and currently supports English, German, and French (with Spanish in beta).
Major changes in this release:
- Limited number of pre- and post-head modifiers to make MuNPEx more robust on certain kinds of input (like a long list of tags or menu entries when processing web pages)
- New optional grammars to add a HEAD_LEMMA slot to an NP annotation, with the lemma extracted from the GATE morphological analyser (for English), the Durm Lemmatizer [6] (for German), or the TreeTagger (for German, Spanish, French)
- DET/MOD/HEAD/MOD2 slots are now stored as strings (rather than Content objects) to make them easier to export and compatible with the new Predicate-Argument Extractor (PAX) [7] component
- other code cleanup and improvements
- no longer labeled as "beta" -- five years of testing ought to be enough, we're not Google ;-)
