This is a very thin wrapper around some basic commands which show how to use some of the excellent stanford nlp libraries inside a ruby project. This is done by using Ruby Java Bridge. The tests give a first impression on what to expect from the included Part-of-speech tagger (postagger) and Named Entity Recognizer (NER).
The gem is not published as a rubygem as it is insanely big (it contains the necessary java libraries and classifier/models in the bin directory) – sorry github.
For a quick tryout you can include it in your ruby or rails project using bundler and adding
gem 'stanford_nlp_ruby_wrapper', :git => 'git://github.com/tamaloa/stanford_nlp_ruby_wrapper'
to your Gemfile.
To really use a part of stanford nlp in your project you will want to include the libraries directly and write your own wrapper if needed at all.
Using postagger:
tagger = StanfordNlpRubyWrapper::PartOfSpeechTagger.new
tagger.tag_sentence(“Good afternoon Rajat Raina, how are you today?”)
=> "Good/JJ afternoon/NN Rajat/NNP Raina/NNP ,/, how/WRB are/VBP you/PRP today/NN ?/. "
Using ner:
ner = StanfordNlpRubyWrapper::NamedEntityRecognizer.new
ner.classify(“Good afternoon Rajat Raina, how are you today?”)
=> “Good afternoon Rajat Raina, how are you today?”
