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