Supports POSTagger and CRFClassifier. Loads automatically the right packages and detects the language of the given text. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - You have to install Java in version 1.8+ or higher. - Download the right packages and extract them into the directory. (The script loads automatically the right packages, no matter where they are.) Installation with Composer -------------------------- [](#installation-with-composer) ``` $ composer require patrickschur/stanford-nlp-tagger ``` ### Example [](#example) - Download the required packages for the POSTagger [here](https://nlp.stanford.edu/software/stanford-postagger-2018-10-16.zip) for English only or [here](https://nlp.stanford.edu/software/stanford-postagger-full-2018-10-16.zip) for Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish, and German. - Extract the (**.zip**) package into your directory. (Please do not rename the packages, only if you want to add this packages manually.) ``` $pos = new \StanfordTagger\POSTagger(); $pos->tag('My dog also likes eating sausage.'); ``` Results in ``` My_PRP$ dog_NN also_RB likes_VBZ eating_JJ sausage_NN ._. ``` setOutputFormat() ----------------- [](#setoutputformat) There are three ways of output formats (**xml**, **slashTags** and **tsv**) ``` $pos = new \StanfordTagger\POSTagger(); $pos->setOutputFormat(StanfordTagger::OUTPUT_FORMAT_XML); $pos->tag('My dog also likes eating sausage.'); ``` Result as XML: ``` My dog also likes eating sausage . ``` or use ``` $pos->setOutputFormat(StanfordTagger::OUTPUT_FORMAT_TSV); ``` for ``` My PRP$ dog NN also RB likes VBZ eating JJ sausage NN . . ``` setModel(), setJarArchive() and setClassfier() ---------------------------------------------- [](#setmodel-setjararchive-and-setclassfier) All packages are loaded automatically but if you want to change that you can set them manually. ``` $pos = new \StanfordTagger\POSTagger(); $pos->setModel(__DIR__ . '/stanford-postagger-full-2018-10-16/models/english-bidirectional-distsim.tagger'); $pos->setJarArchive(__DIR__ . '/stanford-postagger-full-2018-10-16/stanford-postagger.jar'); ``` CRFClassifier ------------- [](#crfclassifier) - For English only, download the required packages for the CRFClassifier [here](https://nlp.stanford.edu/software/stanford-ner-2018-10-16.zip). - You have to download the language models separately: - [German models](https://nlp.stanford.edu/software/stanford-german-corenlp-2018-10-05-models.jar) - [Spanish models](https://nlp.stanford.edu/software/stanford-spanish-corenlp-2018-10-05-models.jar) - [Chinese models](https://nlp.stanford.edu/software/stanford-chinese-corenlp-2018-10-05-models.jar) - Extract the (**.jar**) files if you downloaded a language model and add them into your directory. ### Example [](#example-1) ``` $ner = new \StanfordTagger\CRFClassifier(); $ner->tag('Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist born in Germany.'); ``` ``` Albert/PERSON Einstein/PERSON was/O theoretical/O physicist/O born/O in/O Germany/LOCATION./O ``` Contribute ---------- [](#contribute) Feel free to contribute to this repository.
