Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Solr Wiki" for change notification.
The "OpenNLP" page has been changed by LanceXNorskog: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/OpenNLP New page: <!> [[Solr4.0]] <<TableOfContents(3)>> <!> This page discusses uncommitted code and design. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2899 for the main JIRA issue tracking this development. == Introduction == OpenNLP is a toolkit for Natural Language Processing (NLP). It is an Apache top-level project located [[here|http://opennlp.apache.org/]]. It includes implementations of many popular NLP algorithms. This project integrates some of its features into Lucene and Solr. This first effort incorporates Analyzer chain tools for sentence detection, tokenization, Parts-of-Speech tagging (nouns, verbs, ejaculations, etc.), Chunking (noun phrases, verb phrases) and Named Entity Recognition. See the OpenNLP project page for information on the implementations. Here are some use cases: === Indexing interesting words === NLP lets you create a field with only the nouns in a document. This would be useful for many free text applications. The FilterPayloadsFilter and StripPayloadsFilter below are required for this. See "Full Example" below. === Interesting N-Grams === Chunking lets you create N-Grams only within noun and verb phrases. === Named Entity Recognition === Named Entity Recognition identifies names, dates, places, currency and other types of data within free text. This is profoundly useful in searching. Or, you can create autosuggest entries with icons for 'Name', 'Place', etc. == Analyzer tools == The OpenNLP Tokenizer behavior is similar to the WhiteSpaceTokenizer but is smart about inter-word punctuation. The term stream looks very much like the way you parse words and punctuation while reading. The OpenNLP taggers assign payloads to terms. There are tools to filter the term stream according to the payload values, and to remove the payloads. === solr.OpenNLPTokenizerFactory === Tokenizes text into sentences or words. This Tokenizer uses the OpenNLP Sentence Detector and/or Tokenizer classes. When used together, the Tokenizer receives sentences and can do a better job. The arguments give the file names of the statistical models: {{{ <fieldType name="text_opennlp" class="solr.TextField"> <analyzer> <tokenizer class="solr.OpenNLPTokenizerFactory" sentenceModel="opennlp/en-sent.bin" tokenizerModel="opennlp/en-token.bin" /> </analyzer> </fieldType> }}} === solr.OpenNLPFilterFactory === Tags words using one or more technologies: Parts-of-Speech, Chunking, and Named Entity Recognition. {{{ <fieldType name="text_opennlp_pos" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer> <tokenizer class="solr.OpenNLPTokenizerFactory" tokenizerModel="opennlp/en-token.bin" /> <filter class="solr.OpenNLPFilterFactory" posTaggerModel="opennlp/en-pos-maxent.bin" /> </analyzer> </fieldType> }}} This example assigns parts of speech tags based on a model derived with the [[http://opennlp.apache.org/documentation/1.5.2-incubating/apidocs/opennlp-maxent/index.html|OpenNLP Maximum Entropy]] implementation. See [[http://opennlp.apache.org/documentation/1.5.2-incubating/manual/opennlp.html#tools.postagger.tagging|OpenNLP Tagging]] for more information. The tags are from the [[http://www.ling.upenn.edu/courses/Fall_2003/ling001/penn_treebank_pos.html|Penn Treebank]] tagset === solr.FilterPayloadsFilterFactory === Filter terms for certain payload values. In this example, retain only terms which have been marked 'nouns' and 'verbs' with the [[http://www.ling.upenn.edu/courses/Fall_2003/ling001/penn_treebank_pos.html|Penn Treebank]] tagset. {{{ <filter class="solr.FilterPayloadsFilterFactory" keepPayloads="true" payloadList="NN,NNS,NNP,NNPS,VB,VBD,VBG,VBN,VBP,VBZ,FW"/> }}} === solr.StripPayloadsFilterFactory === Remove payloads from terms. {{{ <filter class="solr.StripPayloadsFilterFactory"/> }}} == Full Example == This "Noun-Verb Filter" field type assigns parts of speech, retains only nouns and verbs, and removes the payloads. Free-text search sites (for example, newspaper and magazine articles) may benefit from this. {{{ <fieldType name="text_opennlp_nvf" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer> <tokenizer class="solr.OpenNLPTokenizerFactory" tokenizerModel="opennlp/en-token.bin" /> <filter class="solr.OpenNLPFilterFactory" posTaggerModel="opennlp/en-pos-maxent.bin" /> <filter class="solr.FilterPayloadsFilterFactory" payloadList="NN,NNS,NNP,NNPS,VB,VBD,VBG,VBN,VBP,VBZ,FW"/> <filter class="solr.StripPayloadsFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldType> }}} This example should work well with most English-language free text. == Installation == See the patch for more information. The short story is you have to download statistical models from sourceforge to make OpenNLP work- the models do not have an Apache-compatible license.
