In jaredlander/TextInfo: Functions for extracting information from text

knitr::opts_chunk$set(
  collapse = TRUE,
  comment = "#>",
  fig.path = "README-"
)

Package for extracting entity information from text documents using MITIE and storing it as an edgelist.

Some functions here are taken directly from the qdap package. This was done, rather than using that package as a DEPENDS, because it depends on openNLP which depends on rJava, a requirement we aim to avoid.

This is no longer the case as those functions were moved to a stripped down qdaplite. The above paragraph will be deleted soon.

A number of examples call for a MITIE ner model. This was too big to store in this repo so please download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mitie/files/binaries/MITIE-models-v0.2.tar.bz2.

To install first install MITIE following the instructions at https://github.com/mit-nlp/MITIE/tree/master/tools/R-binding.

Then install TextNet with devtools::install_github('jaredlander/TextNet').
