        <p>
        The Apache OpenNLP library is a machine learning based toolkit for the processing of natural language text.
        It supports the most common NLP tasks, such as tokenization, sentence segmentation,
        part-of-speech tagging, named entity extraction, chunking, parsing, and coreference resolution.
        These tasks are usually required to build more advanced text processing services.
        OpenNLP also included maximum entropy and perceptron based machine learning.
        </p>

        <p>
        The goal of the OpenNLP project will be to create a mature toolkit for the abovementioned tasks.
        An additional goal is to provide a large number of pre-built models for a variety of languages, as
        well as the annotated text resources that those models are derived from.
        </p>
    </div>

    <div class="section" title="General Library Structure"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="intro.general.library.structure"></a>General Library Structure</h2></div></div></div>
        
        <p>The Apache OpenNLP library contains several components, enabling one to build
            a full natural language processing pipeline. These components
            include: sentence detector, tokenizer,
            name finder, document categorizer, part-of-speech tagger, chunker, parser,
            coreference resolution. Components contain parts which enable one to execute the
            respective natural language processing task, to train a model and often also to evaluate a
            model. Each of these facilities is accessible via its application program
            interface (API). In addition, a command line interface (CLI) is provided for convenience
            of experiments and training.
        </p>
    </div>

    <div class="section" title="Application Program Interface (API). Generic Example"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="intro.api"></a>Application Program Interface (API). Generic Example</h2></div></div></div>
        
        <p>
            OpenNLP components have similar APIs. Normally, to execute a task,
            one should provide a model and an input.
        </p>
        <p>
            A model is usually loaded by providing a FileInputStream with a model to a
            constructor of the model class:
            </p><pre class="programlisting">
                    
InputStream modelIn = <b class="hl-keyword">new</b> FileInputStream(<b class="hl-string"><i style="color:red">"lang-model-name.bin"</i></b>);

<b class="hl-keyword">try</b> {
  SomeModel model = <b class="hl-keyword">new</b> SomeModel(modelIn);
}
<b class="hl-keyword">catch</b> (IOException e) {
  <i class="hl-comment" style="color: silver">//handle the exception</i>
}
<b class="hl-keyword">finally</b> {
  <b class="hl-keyword">if</b> (null != modelIn) {
    <b class="hl-keyword">try</b> {
      modelIn.close();
    }
    <b class="hl-keyword">catch</b> (IOException e) {
    }
  }
}
            </pre><p>
        </p>
        <p>
        After the model is loaded the tool itself can be instantiated.
        </p><pre class="programlisting">
                
ToolName toolName = <b class="hl-keyword">new</b> ToolName(model);
        </pre><p>
        After the tool is instantiated, the processing task can be executed. The input and the
        output formats are specific to the tool, but often the output is an array of String,
        and the input is a String or an array of String.
        </p><pre class="programlisting">
                
String output[] = toolName.executeTask(<b class="hl-string"><i style="color:red">"This is a sample text."</i></b>);
        </pre><p>
        </p>
    </div>

                OpenNLP provides a command line script, serving as a unique entry point to all
                included tools. The script is located in the bin directory of OpenNLP binary
                distribution. Included are versions for Windows: opennlp.bat and Linux or
                compatible systems: opennlp.

                OpenNLP script uses JAVA_CMD and JAVA_HOME variables to determine which command to
                use to execute Java virtual machine.
            </p>
            <p>
                OpenNLP script uses OPENNLP_HOME variable to determine the location of the binary
                distribution of OpenNLP. It is recommended to point this variable to the binary
                distribution of current OpenNLP version and update PATH variable to include
                $OPENNLP_HOME/bin or %OPENNLP_HOME%\bin.
            </p>

            <p>OpenNLP tools have similar command line structure and options. To discover tool
                options, run it with no parameters:
                </p><pre class="screen">
                
$ opennlp ToolName
                 </pre><p>
                The tool will output two blocks of help.
            </p>
            <p>
                The first block describes the general structure of this tool command line:
                </p><pre class="screen">
                
Usage: opennlp TokenizerTrainer[.namefinder|.conllx|.pos] [-abbDict path] ...  -model modelFile ...
                </pre><p>
                The general structure of this tool command line includes the obligatory tool name
                (TokenizerTrainer), the optional format parameters ([.namefinder|.conllx|.pos]),
                the optional parameters ([-abbDict path] ...), and the obligatory parameters
                (-model modelFile ...).
            </p>
            <p>
                The format parameters enable direct processing of non-native data without conversion.
                Each format might have its own parameters, which are displayed if the tool is
                executed without or with help parameter:
                </p><pre class="screen">

        ...
                </pre><p>
                To switch the tool to a specific format, add a dot and the format name after
                the tool name:

            </p>
            <p>
                The second block of the help message describes the individual arguments:

                The type of the token name finder model. One of maxent|perceptron|perceptron_sequence.

            </p>
            <p>
                Most tools for processing need to be provided at least a model:
                </p><pre class="screen">
                
$ opennlp ToolName lang-model-name.bin
                 </pre><p>
                When tool is executed this way, the model is loaded and the tool is waiting for
                the input from standard input. This input is processed and printed to standard
                output.
            </p>
            <p>Alternative, or one should say, most commonly used way is to use console input and
                output redirection options to provide also an input and an output files:
                </p><pre class="screen">
            
$ opennlp ToolName lang-model-name.bin &lt; input.txt &gt; output.txt
                </pre><p>
            </p>
            <p>
                Most tools for model training need to be provided first a model name,
                optionally some training options (such as model type, number of iterations),
                and then the data.
            </p>
            <p>
                A model name is just a file name.
            </p>
            <p>
                Training options often include number of iterations, cutoff,
                abbreviations dictionary or something else. Sometimes it is possible to provide these
                options via training options file. In this case these options are ignored and the
                ones from the file are used.
            </p>
            <p>
                For the data one has to specify the location of the data (filename) and often
                language and encoding.
            </p>
            <p>
                A generic example of a command line to launch a tool trainer might be:
                </p><pre class="screen">
                
$ opennlp ToolNameTrainer -model en-model-name.bin -lang en -data input.train -encoding UTF-8
                 </pre><p>
                or with a format:
                </p><pre class="screen">
                
$ opennlp ToolNameTrainer.conll03 -model en-model-name.bin -lang en -data input.train \
                                  -types per -encoding UTF-8
                 </pre><p>
            </p>
            <p>Most tools for model evaluation are similar to those for task execution, and
                need to be provided fist a model name, optionally some evaluation options (such
                as whether to print misclassified samples), and then the test data. A generic
                example of a command line to launch an evaluation tool might be:
                </p><pre class="screen">

		The OpenNLP Sentence Detector can detect that a punctuation character 
		marks the end of a sentence or not. In this sense a sentence is defined 
		as the longest white space trimmed character sequence between two punctuation
		marks. The first and last sentence make an exception to this rule. The first 
		non whitespace character is assumed to be the begin of a sentence, and the 
		last non whitespace character is assumed to be a sentence end.
		The sample text below should be segmented into its sentences.
		</p><pre class="screen">
				
Pierre Vinken, 61 years old, will join the board as a nonexecutive director Nov. 29. Mr. Vinken is
chairman of Elsevier N.V., the Dutch publishing group. Rudolph Agnew, 55 years
old and former chairman of Consolidated Gold Fields PLC, was named a director of this
British industrial conglomerate.
		</pre><p>
		After detecting the sentence boundaries each sentence is written in its own line.

		Usually Sentence Detection is done before the text is tokenized and that's the way the pre-trained models on the web site are trained,
		but it is also possible to perform tokenization first and let the Sentence Detector process the already tokenized text.
		The OpenNLP Sentence Detector cannot identify sentence boundaries based on the contents of the sentence. A prominent example is the first sentence in an article where the title is mistakenly identified to be the first part of the first sentence.
		Most components in OpenNLP expect input which is segmented into sentences.

		The easiest way to try out the Sentence Detector is the command line tool. The tool is only intended for demonstration and testing.
		Download the english sentence detector model and start the Sentence Detector Tool with this command:
        </p><pre class="screen">
        
$ opennlp SentenceDetector en-sent.bin
		</pre><p>
		Just copy the sample text from above to the console. The Sentence Detector will read it and echo one sentence per line to the console.
		Usually the input is read from a file and the output is redirected to another file. This can be achieved with the following command.
		</p><pre class="screen">
				
$ opennlp SentenceDetector en-sent.bin &lt; input.txt &gt; output.txt
		</pre><p>
		For the english sentence model from the website the input text should not be tokenized.

		</div>
		<div class="section" title="Sentence Detection API"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="tools.sentdetect.detection.api"></a>Sentence Detection API</h3></div></div></div>
		
		<p>
		The Sentence Detector can be easily integrated into an application via its API.
		To instantiate the Sentence Detector the sentence model must be loaded first.
		</p><pre class="programlisting">
				
InputStream modelIn = <b class="hl-keyword">new</b> FileInputStream(<b class="hl-string"><i style="color:red">"en-sent.bin"</i></b>);

<b class="hl-keyword">try</b> {
  SentenceModel model = <b class="hl-keyword">new</b> SentenceModel(modelIn);
}
<b class="hl-keyword">catch</b> (IOException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}
<b class="hl-keyword">finally</b> {
  <b class="hl-keyword">if</b> (modelIn != null) {
    <b class="hl-keyword">try</b> {
      modelIn.close();
    }
    <b class="hl-keyword">catch</b> (IOException e) {
    }
  }
}
		</pre><p>
		After the model is loaded the SentenceDetectorME can be instantiated.
		</p><pre class="programlisting">
				
SentenceDetectorME sentenceDetector = <b class="hl-keyword">new</b> SentenceDetectorME(model);
		</pre><p>
		The Sentence Detector can output an array of Strings, where each String is one sentence.
				</p><pre class="programlisting">
				
String sentences[] = sentenceDetector.sentDetect(<b class="hl-string"><i style="color:red">"  First sentence. Second sentence. "</i></b>);
		</pre><p>
		The result array now contains two entries. The first String is "First sentence." and the
        second String is "Second sentence." The whitespace before, between and after the input String is removed.
		The API also offers a method which simply returns the span of the sentence in the input string.
		</p><pre class="programlisting">
				
Span sentences[] = sentenceDetector.sentPosDetect(<b class="hl-string"><i style="color:red">"  First sentence. Second sentence. "</i></b>);
		</pre><p>
		The result array again contains two entries. The first span beings at index 2 and ends at
            17. The second span begins at 18 and ends at 34. The utility method Span.getCoveredText can be used to create a substring which only covers the chars in the span.

		OpenNLP has a command line tool which is used to train the models available from the model
		download page on various corpora. The data must be converted to the OpenNLP Sentence Detector
		training format. Which is one sentence per line. An empty line indicates a document boundary.
		In case the document boundary is unknown, its recommended to have an empty line every few ten
		sentences. Exactly like the output in the sample above.
		Usage of the tool:

			OpenNLP offers multiple tokenizer implementations:
			</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
					<p>Whitespace Tokenizer - A whitespace tokenizer, non whitespace
						sequences are identified as tokens</p>
				</li><li class="listitem">

				</li></ul></div><p>

			Most part-of-speech taggers, parsers and so on, work with text
			tokenized in this manner. It is important to ensure that your
			tokenizer
			produces tokens of the type expected by your later text
			processing
			components.
		</p>

		<p>
			With OpenNLP (as with many systems), tokenization is a two-stage
			process:
			first, sentence boundaries are identified, then tokens within
			each
			sentence are identified.
		</p>
	
	<div class="section" title="Tokenizer Tools"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="tools.tokenizer.cmdline"></a>Tokenizer Tools</h3></div></div></div>
		
		<p>The easiest way to try out the tokenizers are the command line
			tools. The tools are only intended for demonstration and testing.
		</p>
		<p>There are two tools, one for the Simple Tokenizer and one for
			the learnable tokenizer. A command line tool the for the Whitespace
			Tokenizer does not exist, because the whitespace separated output
			would be identical to the input.</p>
		<p>
			The following command shows how to use the Simple Tokenizer Tool.

			</p><pre class="screen">
			
$ opennlp SimpleTokenizer
		    </pre><p>
			To use the learnable tokenizer download the english token model from
			our website.
			</p><pre class="screen">
			
$ opennlp TokenizerME en-token.bin
		    </pre><p>
			To test the tokenizer copy the sample from above to the console. The
			whitespace separated tokens will be written back to the
			console.
		</p>
		<p>
			Usually the input is read from a file and written to a file.
			</p><pre class="screen">

		    </pre><p>
			It can be done in the same way for the Simple Tokenizer.
		</p>
		<p>
			Since most text comes truly raw and doesn't have sentence boundaries
			and such, its possible to create a pipe which first performs sentence
			boundary detection and tokenization. The following sample illustrates
			that.

		<p>
		Detokenizing is simple the opposite of tokenization, the original non-tokenized string should
		be constructed out of a token sequence. The OpenNLP implementation was created to undo the tokenization
		of training data for the tokenizer. It can also be used to undo the tokenization of such a trained
		tokenizer. The implementation is strictly rule based and defines how tokens should be attached
		to a sentence wise character sequence.
		</p>
		<p>
		The rule dictionary assign to every token an operation which describes how it should be attached
		to one continuous character sequence.
		</p>
		<p>
		The following rules can be assigned to a token:
		</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
				<p>MERGE_TO_LEFT - Merges the token to the left side.</p>
			</li><li class="listitem">
				<p>MERGE_TO_RIGHT - Merges the token to the right side.</p>
			</li><li class="listitem">
				<p>RIGHT_LEFT_MATCHING - Merges the token to the right side on first occurrence
				and to the left side on second occurrence.</p>
			</li></ul></div><p>

		The following sample will illustrate how the detokenizer with a small
		rule dictionary (illustration format, not the xml data format):
		</p><pre class="programlisting">
			
. MERGE_TO_LEFT
" RIGHT_LEFT_MATCHING		
		</pre><p>
		The dictionary should be used to de-tokenize the following whitespace tokenized sentence:
		</p><pre class="programlisting">
			
He said " This is a test " .		
		</pre><p>
		The tokens would get these tags based on the dictionary:
		</p><pre class="programlisting">
			
He -&gt; NO_OPERATION
said -&gt; NO_OPERATION
" -&gt; MERGE_TO_RIGHT
This -&gt; NO_OPERATION
is -&gt; NO_OPERATION
a -&gt; NO_OPERATION
test -&gt; NO_OPERATION
" -&gt; MERGE_TO_LEFT
. -&gt; MERGE_TO_LEFT		
			</pre><p>
			That will result in the following character sequence:
		</p><pre class="programlisting">
			
He said "This is a test".

			The Name Finder can detect named entities and numbers in text. To be able to
			detect entities the Name Finder needs a model. The model is dependent on the
			language and entity type it was trained for. The OpenNLP projects offers a number
			of pre-trained name finder models which are trained on various freely available corpora.
			They can be downloaded at our model download page. To find names in raw text the text
			must be segmented into tokens and sentences. A detailed description is given in the
			sentence detector and tokenizer tutorial. It is important that the tokenization for
			the training data and the input text is identical.

			To use the Name Finder in a production system it is strongly recommended to embed it
			directly into the application instead of using the command line interface.
			First the name finder model must be loaded into memory from disk or an other source.
			In the sample below it is loaded from disk.
			</p><pre class="programlisting">

			 </pre><p>
			 There is a number of reasons why the model loading can fail:
			 </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
					<p>Issues with the underlying I/O</p>
				</li><li class="listitem">
					<p>The version of the model is not compatible with the OpenNLP version</p>

					for example a tokenizer model is loaded with TokenNameFinderModel class.</p>
				</li><li class="listitem">
					<p>The model content is not valid for some other reason</p>
				</li></ul></div><p>
			After the model is loaded the NameFinderME can be instantiated.
			</p><pre class="programlisting">
				
NameFinderME nameFinder = <b class="hl-keyword">new</b> NameFinderME(model);
			</pre><p>
			The initialization is now finished and the Name Finder can be used. The NameFinderME
			class is not thread safe, it must only be called from one thread. To use multiple threads
			multiple NameFinderME instances sharing the same model instance can be created.
			The input text should be segmented into documents, sentences and tokens.
			To perform entity detection an application calls the find method for every sentence in the
			document. After every document clearAdaptiveData must be called to clear the adaptive data in
			the feature generators. Not calling clearAdaptiveData can lead to a sharp drop in the detection
			rate after a few documents.
			The following code illustrates that:
			</p><pre class="programlisting">
				
<b class="hl-keyword">for</b> (String document[][] : documents) {

  <b class="hl-keyword">for</b> (String[] sentence : document) {
    Span nameSpans[] = nameFinder.find(sentence);
    <i class="hl-comment" style="color: silver">// do something with the names</i>
  }

  nameFinder.clearAdaptiveData()
}
			 </pre><p>
			 the following snippet shows a call to find
			 </p><pre class="programlisting">

Span nameSpans[] = nameFinder.find(sentence);
			</pre><p>
			The nameSpans arrays contains now exactly one Span which marks the name Pierre Vinken. 
			The elements between the begin and end offsets are the name tokens. In this case the begin 
			offset is 0 and the end offset is 2. The Span object also knows the type of the entity.
			In this case it is person (defined by the model). It can be retrieved with a call to Span.getType().
			Additionally to the statistical Name Finder, OpenNLP also offers a dictionary and a regular
			expression name finder implementation.

			The pre-trained models might not be available for a desired language, can not detect
			important entities or the performance is not good enough outside the news domain.

			OpenNLP has a command line tool which is used to train the models available from the model
			download page on various corpora.
		</p>
		<p>
			The data can be converted to the OpenNLP name finder training format. Which is one
            sentence per line. Some other formats are available as well.
			The sentence must be tokenized and contain spans which mark the entities. Documents are separated by
			empty lines which trigger the reset of the adaptive feature generators. A training file can contain
			multiple types. If the training file contains multiple types the created model will also be able to
			detect these multiple types.

			 It is now assumed that the english person name finder model should be trained from a file
			 called en-ner-person.train which is encoded as UTF-8. The following command will train
			 the name finder and write the model to en-ner-person.bin:
			 </p><pre class="screen">
				
$ opennlp TokenNameFinderTrainer -model en-ner-person.bin -lang en -data en-ner-person.train -encoding UTF-8
			 </pre><p>
The example above will train models with a pre-defined feature set. It is also possible to use the -resources parameter to generate features based on external knowledge such as those based on word representation (clustering) features. The external resources must all be placed in a resource directory which is then passed as a parameter. If this option is used it is then required to pass, via the -featuregen parameter, a XML custom feature generator which includes some of the clustering features shipped with the TokenNameFinder. Currently three formats of clustering lexicons are accepted:
			</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
					<p>Space separated two column file specifying the token and the cluster class as generated by toolkits such as <a class="ulink" href="https://code.google.com/p/word2vec/" target="_top">word2vec</a>.</p>
				</li><li class="listitem">
					<p>Space separated three column file specifying the token, clustering class and weight as such as <a class="ulink" href="https://github.com/ninjin/clark_pos_induction" target="_top">Clark's clusters</a>.</p>
				</li><li class="listitem">
					<p>Tab separated three column Brown clusters as generated by <a class="ulink" href="https://github.com/percyliang/brown-cluster" target="_top">
						Liang's toolkit</a>.</p>
				</li></ul></div><p>
			 Additionally it is possible to specify the number of iterations,
			 the cutoff and to overwrite all types in the training data with a single type. Finally, the -sequenceCodec parameter allows to specify a BIO (Begin, Inside, Out) or BILOU (Begin, Inside, Last, Out, Unit) encoding to represent the Named Entities. An example of one such command would be as follows:
			 </p><pre class="screen">
			   
$ opennlp TokenNameFinderTrainer -featuregen brown.xml -sequenceCodec BILOU -resources clusters/ \
-params PerceptronTrainerParams.txt -lang en -model ner-test.bin -data en-train.opennlp -encoding UTF-8

		<p>
			To train the name finder from within an application it is recommended to use the training
			API instead of the command line tool.
			Basically three steps are necessary to train it:
			</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
					<p>The application must open a sample data stream</p>

				</li><li class="listitem">
					<p>Save the TokenNameFinderModel to a file or database</p>
				</li></ul></div><p>
			The three steps are illustrated by the following sample code:
			</p><pre class="programlisting">
				
Charset charset = Charset.forName(<b class="hl-string"><i style="color:red">"UTF-8"</i></b>);
ObjectStream&lt;String&gt; lineStream =

			<p>
				OpenNLP defines a default feature generation which is used when no custom feature
				generation is specified. Users which want to experiment with the feature generation
				can provide a custom feature generator. Either via API or via an xml descriptor file.
			</p>
			<div class="section" title="Feature Generation defined by API"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="tools.namefind.training.featuregen.api"></a>Feature Generation defined by API</h4></div></div></div>
			
			<p>
				The custom generator must be used for training
				and for detecting the names. If the feature generation during training time and detection
				time is different the name finder might not be able to detect names.
				The following lines show how to construct a custom feature generator
				</p><pre class="programlisting">
					
AdaptiveFeatureGenerator featureGenerator = <b class="hl-keyword">new</b> CachedFeatureGenerator(
         <b class="hl-keyword">new</b> AdaptiveFeatureGenerator[]{

           <b class="hl-keyword">new</b> BrownTokenFeatureGenerator(BrownCluster dictResource)
           });
				</pre><p>
				which is similar to the default feature generator but with a BrownTokenFeature added.
				The javadoc of the feature generator classes explain what the individual feature generators do.
				To write a custom feature generator please implement the AdaptiveFeatureGenerator interface or
				if it must not be adaptive extend the FeatureGeneratorAdapter.
				The train method which should be used is defined as
				</p><pre class="programlisting">
					
<b class="hl-keyword">public</b> <b class="hl-keyword">static</b> TokenNameFinderModel train(String languageCode, String type,

          TokenNameFinderFactory factory) <b class="hl-keyword">throws</b> IOException
				</pre><p>
				where the TokenNameFinderFactory allows to specify a custom feature generator.
				To detect names the model which was returned from the train method must be passed to the NameFinderME constructor.

			OpenNLP can also use a xml descriptor file to configure the feature generation. The
            descriptor
			file is stored inside the model after training and the feature generators are configured
			correctly when the name finder is instantiated.

		<p>
		The OpenNLP Document Categorizer can classify text into pre-defined categories. 
		It is based on maximum entropy framework. For someone interested in Gross Margin,
		the sample text given below could be classified as GMDecrease
        </p><pre class="screen">
			
Major acquisitions that have a lower gross margin than the existing network
also had a negative impact on the overall gross margin, but it should improve
following the implementation of its integration strategies.
		 </pre><p>
and the text below could be classified as GMIncrease
        </p><pre class="screen">
			
The upward movement of gross margin resulted from amounts pursuant to 
adjustments to obligations towards dealers.
		 </pre><p>
		 To be able to classify a text, the document categorizer needs a model. 
		 The classifications are requirements-specific
		 and hence there is no pre-built model for document categorizer under OpenNLP project.
		</p>		
	
	<div class="section" title="Document Categorizer Tool"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="tools.doccat.classifying.cmdline"></a>Document Categorizer Tool</h3></div></div></div>
		
		<p>
		The easiest way to try out the document categorizer is the command line tool. The tool is only
		intended for demonstration and testing. The following command shows how to use the document categorizer tool. 
		  </p><pre class="screen">
			
$ opennlp Doccat model
		 </pre><p>
		 The input is read from standard input and output is written to standard output, unless they are redirected
		 or piped. As with most components in OpenNLP, document categorizer expects input which is segmented into sentences.

		<p>
			To perform classification you will need a maxent model -
			these are encapsulated in the DoccatModel class of OpenNLP tools.
		</p>
		<p>
			First you need to grab the bytes from the serialized model on an InputStream - 
			we'll leave it you to do that, since you were the one who serialized it to begin with. Now for the easy part:
						</p><pre class="programlisting">
				
InputStream is = ...
DoccatModel m = <b class="hl-keyword">new</b> DoccatModel(is);
				</pre><p>
				With the DoccatModel in hand we are just about there:
						</p><pre class="programlisting">
				
String inputText = ...
DocumentCategorizerME myCategorizer = <b class="hl-keyword">new</b> DocumentCategorierME(m);
<b class="hl-keyword">double</b>[] outcomes = myCategorizer.categorize(inputText);
String category = myCategorizer.getBestOutcome();

		<p>
			The Document Categorizer can be trained on annotated training material. The data
			can be in OpenNLP Document Categorizer training format. This is one document per line,
			containing category and text separated by a whitespace. Other formats can also be
            available.
			The following sample shows the sample from above in the required format. Here GMDecrease and GMIncrease
			are the categories.
			</p><pre class="screen">
			
GMDecrease Major acquisitions that have a lower gross margin than the existing network also \ 
           had a negative impact on the overall gross margin, but it should improve following \

		The following command will train the document categorizer and write the model to en-doccat.bin:		
		  </p><pre class="screen">
						
$ opennlp DoccatTrainer -model en-doccat.bin -lang en -data en-doccat.train -encoding UTF-8
		 </pre><p>
		Additionally it is possible to specify the number of iterations, and the cutoff.
		</p>

				<div class="section" title="Training API"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="tools.doccat.training.api"></a>Training API</h3></div></div></div>
		
		<p>
		So, naturally you will need some access to many pre-classified events to train your model.
		The class opennlp.tools.doccat.DocumentSample encapsulates a text document and its classification.
		DocumentSample has two constructors. Each take the text's category as one argument. The other argument can either be raw
		text, or an array of tokens. By default, the raw text will be split into tokens by whitespace. So, let's say
		your training data was contained in a text file, where the format is as described above.
		Then you might want to write something like this to create a collection of DocumentSamples:
		</p><pre class="programlisting">
						
DoccatModel model = null;

<b class="hl-keyword">try</b> {

	Now might be a good time to cruise over to Hulu or something, because this could take a while if you've got a large training set.
	You may see a lot of output as well. Once you're done, you can pretty quickly step to classification directly,
	but first we'll cover serialization. Feel free to skim.

		The Part of Speech Tagger marks tokens with their corresponding word type
		based on the token itself and the context of the token. A token might have
		multiple pos tags depending on the token and the context. The OpenNLP POS Tagger
		uses a probability model to predict the correct pos tag out of the tag set.
		To limit the possible tags for a token a tag dictionary can be used which increases
		the tagging and runtime performance of the tagger.

		The tag dictionary is a word dictionary which specifies which tags a specific token can have. Using a tag
		dictionary has two advantages, inappropriate tags can not been assigned to tokens in the dictionary and the
		beam search algorithm has to consider less possibilities and can search faster.
		</p>
		<p>
		The dictionary is defined in a xml format and can be created and stored with the POSDictionary class.
		Please for now checkout the javadoc and source code of that class.
		</p>
		<p>Note: The format should be documented and sample code should show how to use the dictionary.

			The lemmatizer returns, for a given word form (token) and Part of Speech
			tag,
			the dictionary form of a word, which is usually referred to as its
			lemma. A token could
			ambiguously be derived from several basic forms or dictionary words which is why
			the
			postag of the word is required to find the lemma. For example, the form
			`show' may refer
			to either the verb "to show" or to the noun "show".
			Currently OpenNLP implement statistical and dictionary-based lemmatizers.

			<p>
				The easiest way to try out the Lemmatizer is the command line tool,
				which provides access to the statistical
				lemmatizer. Note that the tool is only intended for demonstration and testing.
			</p>
			<p>
				Once you have trained a lemmatizer model (see below for instructions),
				you can start the Lemmatizer Tool with this command:
			</p>
			<p>
				</p><pre class="screen">
		   
$ opennlp LemmatizerME en-lemmatizer.bin &lt; sentences
		  </pre><p>
				The Lemmatizer now reads a pos tagged sentence(s) per line from
				standard input. For example, you can copy this sentence to the
				console:
				</p><pre class="screen">

Boeing_NNP Co._NNP to_TO provide_VB structural_JJ parts_NNS for_IN Boeing_NNP 's_POS 
747_CD jetliners_NNS ._.
		  </pre><p>
				The Lemmatizer will now echo the lemmas for each word postag pair to
				the console:

			<p>
				The Lemmatizer can be embedded into an application via its API.
				Currently a statistical
				and DictionaryLemmatizer are available. Note that these two methods are
				complementary and
				the DictionaryLemmatizer can also be used as a way of post-processing
				the output of the statistical
				lemmatizer.
			</p>
			<p>
				The statistical lemmatizer requires that a trained model is loaded
				into memory from disk or from another source.
				In the example below it is loaded from disk:

		The pre-trained models might not be available for a desired language,

		</p>
		<p>
		These are the typical reason to do custom training of the chunker on a ne
	    corpus or on a corpus which is extended by private training data taken from the data which should be analyzed.
		</p>
		<p>
		The training data can be converted to the OpenNLP chunker training format,
		that is based on <a class="ulink" href="http://www.cnts.ua.ac.be/conll2000/chunking" target="_top">CoNLL2000</a>.
        Other formats may also be available.
		The train data consist of three columns separated by spaces. Each word has been put on a
		separate line and there is an empty line after each sentence. The first column contains
		the current word, the second its part-of-speech tag and the third its chunk tag. 
		The chunk tags contain the name of the chunk type, for example I-NP for noun phrase words
		and I-VP for verb phrase words. Most chunk types have two types of chunk tags,
		B-CHUNK for the first word of the chunk and I-CHUNK for each other word in the chunk.
		Here is an example of the file format:

		The easiest way to try out the Parser is the command line tool.
		The tool is only intended for demonstration and testing.
		Download the English chunking parser model from the our website and start the Parse
 		Tool with the following command.
				</p><pre class="screen">
				
$ opennlp Parser en-parser.bin en-parser-chunking.bin
		</pre><p>
		Loading the big parser model can take several seconds, be patient.
		Copy this sample sentence to the console.
		</p><pre class="screen">
				
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog .
		</pre><p>
		The parser should now print the following to the console.
				</p><pre class="screen">
				
(TOP (NP (NP (DT The) (JJ quick) (JJ brown) (NN fox) (NNS jumps)) (PP (IN over) (NP (DT the)
    (JJ lazy) (NN dog))) (. .)))
		</pre><p>
		With the following command the input can be read from a file and be written to an output file.
				</p><pre class="screen">
				
$ opennlp Parser en-parser.bin en-parser-chunking.bin &lt; article-tokenized.txt &gt; article-parsed.txt.
		</pre><p>
		The article-tokenized.txt file must contain one sentence per line which is
		tokenized with the English tokenizer model from our website.
		See the Tokenizer documentation for further details.

			The Parser can be easily integrated into an application via its API.
			To instantiate a Parser the parser model must be loaded first.
			</p><pre class="programlisting">
				
InputStream modelIn = <b class="hl-keyword">new</b> FileInputStream(<b class="hl-string"><i style="color:red">"en-parser-chunking.bin"</i></b>);

  }
}
		</pre><p>
		Unlike the other components to instantiate the Parser a factory method
		should be used instead of creating the Parser via the new operator.
		The parser model is either trained for the chunking parser or the tree
		insert parser the parser implementation must be chosen correctly.
		The factory method will read a type parameter from the model and create
		an instance of the corresponding parser implementation.
		</p><pre class="programlisting">
				
Parser parser = ParserFactory.create(model);
		</pre><p>
		Right now the tree insert parser is still experimental and there is no pre-trained model for it.
		The parser expect a whitespace tokenized sentence. A utility method from the command
		line tool can parse the sentence String. The following code shows how the parser can be called.
				</p><pre class="programlisting">
				
String sentence = <b class="hl-string"><i style="color:red">"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog ."</i></b>;
Parse topParses[] = ParserTool.parseLine(sentence, parser, <span class="hl-number">1</span>);
		</pre><p>
		
		The topParses array only contains one parse because the number of parses is set to 1.
		The Parse object contains the parse tree.
		To display the parse tree call the show method. It either prints the parse to
		the console or into a provided StringBuffer. Similar to Exception.printStackTrace.

				The OpenNLP offers two different parser implementations, the chunking parser and the
		treeinsert parser. The later one is still experimental and not recommended for production use.
		(TODO: Add a section which explains the two different approaches)
		The training can either be done with the command line tool or the training API.
		In the first case the training data must be available in the OpenNLP format. Which is
		the Penn Treebank format, but with the limitation of a sentence per line.

		The following code snippet shows how to instantiate the HeadRules:

	<div class="chapter" title="Chapter&nbsp;11.&nbsp;Extending OpenNLP"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title"><a name="tools.extension"></a>Chapter&nbsp;11.&nbsp;Extending OpenNLP</h2></div></div></div><div class="toc"><p><b>Table of Contents</b></p><dl><dt><span class="section"><a href="#tools.extension.writing">Writing an extension</a></span></dt><dt><span class="section"><a href="#tools.extension.osgi">Running in an OSGi container</a></span></dt></dl></div>

<p>
In OpenNLP extension can be used to add new functionality and to
heavily customize an existing component. Most components define
a factory class which can be implemented to customize the creation
of it. And some components allow to add new feature generators.
</p>

<div class="section" title="Writing an extension"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="tools.extension.writing"></a>Writing an extension</h2></div></div></div>
	
	<p>
	In many places it is possible to pass in an extension class name to customize
	some aspect of OpenNLP. The implementation class needs to implement the specified
	interface and should have a public no-argument constructor.
	</p>
</div>

<div class="section" title="Running in an OSGi container"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="tools.extension.osgi"></a>Running in an OSGi container</h2></div></div></div>
	
	<p>
	The traditional way of loading an extension via Class.forName does not work
	in an OSGi environment because the class paths of the OpenNLP Tools and extension
	bundle are isolated. OSGi uses services to provide functionality from one bundle
	to another. The extension bundle must register its extensions as services so that
	the OpenNLP tools bundle can use them.
	The following code illustrates how that can be done:
				</p><pre class="programlisting">
				
Dictionary&lt;String, String&gt; props = <b class="hl-keyword">new</b> Hashtable&lt;String, String&gt;();
props.put(ExtensionServiceKeys.ID, <b class="hl-string"><i style="color:red">"org.test.SuperTokenizer"</i></b>);
context.registerService(Tokenizer.<b class="hl-keyword">class</b>.getName(), <b class="hl-keyword">new</b> org.test.SuperTokenizer(), props);
		</pre><p>
	The service OpenNLP is looking for might not be (yet) available. In this case OpenNLP
	waits until a timeout is reached. If loading the extension fails an ExtensionNotLoadedException
	is thrown. This exception is also thrown when the thread is interrupted while it is waiting for the
	extension, the interrupted flag will be set again and the calling code has a chance to handle it.
	</p>

		CoNLL-2000 made available training and test data for the Chunk task in English. 
		The data consists of the same partitions of the Wall Street Journal corpus (WSJ) 
		as the widely used data for noun phrase chunking: sections 15-18 as training data 
		(211727 tokens) and section 20 as test data (47377 tokens). The annotation of the 
		data has been derived from the WSJ corpus by a program written by Sabine Buchholz 
		from Tilburg University, The Netherlands. Both training and test data can be
		obtained from <a class="ulink" href="http://www.cnts.ua.ac.be/conll2000/chunking" target="_top">http://www.cnts.ua.ac.be/conll2000/chunking</a>.

		The first test file will be used in the development phase for finding good parameters for the learning system.
		The second test file will be used for the final evaluation. Currently there are data files available for two languages:
		Spanish and Dutch.
		</p>
		<p>
		The Spanish data is a collection of news wire articles made available by the Spanish EFE News Agency. The articles are

		through the NAMIC project (IST-1999-12392). 
		</p>
		<p>
		The Dutch data consist of four editions of the Belgian newspaper "De Morgen" of 2000 (June 2, July 1, August 1 and September 1).
		The data was annotated as a part of the <a class="ulink" href="http://atranos.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/" target="_top">Atranos</a> project at the University of Antwerp.

	<p>
	The corpora in the different languages can be used to train a document categorizer model which can detect the document language.

		"OntoNotes Release 4.0, Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) catalog number
		LDC2011T03 and isbn 1-58563-574-X, was developed as part of the
		OntoNotes project, a collaborative effort between BBN Technologies,
		the University of Colorado, the University of Pennsylvania and the
		University of Southern Californias Information Sciences Institute. The
		goal of the project is to annotate a large corpus comprising various
		genres of text (news, conversational telephone speech, weblogs, usenet
		newsgroups, broadcast, talk shows) in three languages (English,
		Chinese, and Arabic) with structural information (syntax and predicate
		argument structure) and shallow semantics (word sense linked to an
		ontology and coreference). OntoNotes Release 4.0 is supported by the
		Defense Advance Research Project Agency, GALE Program Contract No.
		HR0011-06-C-0022.
	</p>
	<p>
		OntoNotes Release 4.0 contains the content of earlier releases -- OntoNotes
		Release 1.0 LDC2007T21, OntoNotes Release 2.0 LDC2008T04 and OntoNotes
		Release 3.0 LDC2009T24 -- and adds newswire, broadcast news, broadcast
		conversation and web data in English and Chinese and newswire data in
		Arabic. This cumulative publication consists of 2.4 million words as
		follows: 300k words of Arabic newswire 250k words of Chinese newswire,
		250k words of Chinese broadcast news, 150k words of Chinese broadcast
		conversation and 150k words of Chinese web text and 600k words of
		English newswire, 200k word of English broadcast news, 200k words of
		English broadcast conversation and 300k words of English web text.
	</p>
	<p>
		The OntoNotes project builds on two time-tested resources, following the
		Penn Treebank for syntax and the Penn PropBank for predicate-argument
		structure. Its semantic representation will include word sense
		disambiguation for nouns and verbs, with each word sense connected to
		an ontology, and coreference. The current goals call for annotation of
		over a million words each of English and Chinese, and half a million
		words of Arabic over five years." (http://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2011T03)

		The OntoNotes corpus can be used to train the Name Finder. The corpus
		contains many different name types
		to train a model for a specific type only the built-in type filter
		option should be used.

		<p>
		To explain what maximum entropy is, it will be simplest to quote from Manning and Schutze* (p. 589):
		<span class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">
		Maximum entropy modeling is a framework for integrating information from many heterogeneous
		information sources for classification.  The data for a  classification problem is described
		as a (potentially large) number of features.  These features can be quite complex and allow
		the experimenter to make use of prior knowledge about what types of informations are expected
		to be important for classification. Each feature corresponds to a constraint on the model.
		We then compute the maximum entropy model, the model with the maximum entropy of all the models
		that satisfy the constraints.  This term may seem perverse, since we have spent most of the book
		trying to minimize the (cross) entropy of models, but the idea is that we do not want to go beyond
		the data.  If we chose a model with less entropy, we would add `information' constraints to the
		model that are not justified by the empirical evidence available to us. Choosing the maximum
		entropy model is motivated by the desire to preserve as much uncertainty as possible.
		</span>&#8221;</span>
		</p>
		<p>
		So that gives a rough idea of what the maximum entropy framework is.
		Don't assume anything about your probability distribution other than what you have observed. 
		</p>
		<p>
		On the engineering level, using maxent is an excellent way of creating programs which perform
		very difficult classification tasks very well.  For example,  precision and recall figures for
		programs using maxent models have reached (or are) the state of the art on tasks like part of
		speech tagging, sentence detection, prepositional phrase attachment, and named entity recognition.
		On the engineering level, an added benefit is that the person creating a maxent model only needs
		to inform the training procedure of the event space, and need not worry about independence between
		features.
		</p>
		<p>
		While the authors of this implementation of maximum entropy are generally interested using
		maxent models in natural language processing, the framework is certainly quite general and
		useful for a much wider variety of fields.  In fact, maximum entropy modeling was originally
		developed for statistical physics.
		</p>
		<p>
		For a very in-depth discussion of how maxent can be used in natural language processing,
		try reading Adwait Ratnaparkhi's dissertation.   Also,  check out Berger, Della Pietra,
		and Della Pietra's paper A Maximum Entropy Approach to Natural Language Processing, which
		provides an excellent introduction and discussion of the framework.

			<div class="section" title="Implementation"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="opennlp.ml.maxent.impl"></a>Implementation</h3></div></div></div>
		
		<p>
		We have tried to make the opennlp.maxent implementation easy to use.  To create a model, one
		needs (of course) the training data, and then implementations of two interfaces in the
		opennlp.maxent package, EventStream and ContextGenerator.  These have fairly simple specifications,
		and example implementations can be found in the OpenNLP Tools preprocessing components.
		</p>
		<p>
		We have also set in place some interfaces and code to make it easier to automate the training
		and evaluation process (the Evalable interface and the TrainEval class).  It is not necessary
		to use this functionality, but if you do you'll find it much easier to see how well your models
		are doing.  The opennlp.grok.preprocess.namefind package is an example of a maximum entropy
		component which uses this functionality.
		</p>
		<p>
		We have managed to use several techniques to reduce the size of the models when writing them to
		disk, which also means that reading in a model for use is much quicker than with less compact
		encodings of the model.  This was especially important to us since we use many maxent models in
		the Grok library, and we wanted the start up time and the physical size of the library to be as
		minimal as possible. As of version 1.2.0, maxent has an io package which greatly simplifies the
		process of loading and saving models in different formats.

	The UIMA Integration wraps the OpenNLP components in UIMA Analysis Engines which can 
	be used to automatically annotate text and train new OpenNLP models from annotated text.

		<p>
			The Cas Visual Debugger is shipped as part of the UIMA distribution and is a tool which can run
			the OpenNLP UIMA Annotators and display their analysis results. The source distribution comes with a script
			which can create a sample UIMA application. Which includes the sentence detector, tokenizer,
			pos tagger, chunker and name finders for English. This sample application is packaged in the
			pear format and must be installed with the pear installer before it can be run by CVD.
			Please consult the UIMA documentation for further information about the pear installer.
		</p>
		<p>
			The OpenNLP UIMA pear file must be build manually.
			First download the source distribution, unzip it and go to the apache-opennlp/opennlp folder.
			Type "mvn install" to build everything. Now build the pear file, go to apache-opennlp/opennlp-uima
			and build it as shown below. Note the models will be downloaded
			from the old SourceForge repository and are not licensed under the AL 2.0.

		<p>
			The Morfologik Addon implements OpenNLP interfaces and extensions to allow the use of FSA Morfologik dictionary tools.

			<p>
			To allow for an easy integration with OpenNLP, the following implementations are provided:
			</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="opencircle"><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: circle">
					<p>
					The <code class="code">MorfologikPOSTaggerFactory</code> extends <code class="code">POSTaggerFactory</code>, which helps creating a POSTagger model with an embedded FSA TagDictionary.
					</p>
				</li><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: circle">
					<p>
					The <code class="code">MorfologikTagDictionary</code> implements a FSA based <code class="code">TagDictionary</code>, allowing for much smaller files than the default XML based with improved memory consumption.

				</li><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: circle">

				</li></ul></div><p>
		</p>
		<p>
		The first two implementations can be used directly from command line, as in the example bellow. Having a FSA Morfologik dictionary (see next section how to build one), you can train a POS Tagger
		model with an embedded FSA dictionary. 
		</p>
		<p>
		The example trains a POSTagger with a CONLL corpus named <code class="code">portuguese_bosque_train.conll</code> and a FSA dictionary named 
		<code class="code">pt-morfologik.dict</code>. It will output a model named <code class="code">pos-pt_fsadic.model</code>.

		Another example follows. It shows how to use the <code class="code">MorfologikLemmatizer</code>. You will need a lemma dictionary and info file, in this example, we will use a very small Portuguese dictionary.
