NER

Named Entity Recognition for golang via the MITIE (MIT Information Extraction) library.

Installation

• Install the MITIE library and header files. This does vary by platform. On a mac the easiest way would be brew install mitie. You'd have build from source on a linux system.
• The go bindings will fail if the MITIE header files and dynamic library are not found.
• go get github.com/sbl/ner

Usage

See _example/main.go for a simple usage example. Training files in your language of choice are required to be able to detect entities in text. See https://github.com/mit-nlp/MITIE#initial-setup for reference.

// In a nutshell
ext, err := ner.NewExtractor(path)
defer ext.Free()
if err != nil {
  return
}

tokens := ner.Tokenize(txt)

es, err := ext.Extract(tokens)
if err != nil {
  return
}
