using maxnet

[nlp text <nl...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

am trying to use maxnet to extract diseases from text

I downloaded /opennlp-maxent-3.0.0/ , am using Linux, Eclipse and i have
mven installed on my machine.
I cant figure out how to use it.

Kindly let me know how to use it, do i need to write code ? am really not
sure.

Thanks much

Sounds like you want to train a Named Entity Recognition model to find
disease names in your text... is that right? If so, then you will want to
use the opennlp tools namefinder java API. The basic steps to get started
are these:
- add opennlp tools to your maven pom.
- read the opennlp docs to learn how to use the Namefinder api.
-you can optionally pull down the 1.6 Snapshot trunk if you want to build
locally and step through any code.

You will likely have to use the training api as well, because you will need
to build your own models to find the disease names. However, If your
disease names are not highly variant, and there are not too many of them,
consider using a RegexNameFinder, which is also under the opennlp tools api.
