Text Analytic Tools from IBM
IBM have recently released a set of interesting text analysis tools for Eclipse. The description of IBM LanguageWare is very promising, and will undoubtedly be helpful for anybody working in text analytics. It'll probably have been very helpful when I was working on the Newspaper Information Extraction project.
From the IBM Website:-
IBM® LanguageWare® is a set of run-time libraries and an easy-to-use Eclipse-based development environment for building custom text analyzers in various languages. Deployable in Apache UIMA, these analyzers can expose the information buried in text to any application. The Eclipse-based tools makes creating analyzers simple and fast, even for non-technical users. The tools make it easy to build dictionaries, ontologies, and rules for identifying key information, relationships and meaning.
The package is a complete development environment that requires no specialist knowledge of the underlying technologies of natural language processing or UIMA; therefore, you can focus on concepts and relationships of interest and develop analyzers that extract them from text without writing any code...
IBM LanguageWare® provides a full range of text analysis functions. It is useful in solutions that mine facts from large repositories of text and it makes it easy to create, manage and deploy analysis engines and their resources.
