Jet (Java Extraction Toolkit)
About JET
JET, the Java Extraction Tool, provides a variety of components
for language analysis, such as sentence segmentation, name
tagging, time expression tagging and normalization, part-of-speech
tagging, partial parsing, and coreference analysis. These
components can be arranged in pipelines for different
applications, and can be used either for interactive analysis of
individual sentences, or 'batch' analysis of complete documents.
Simple tools are provided for annotating documents and displaying
annotated documents. A full set of procedures are also
provided for performing information extraction of entities,
relations, and events following the ACE [Automatic Content
Extraction] specifications.
JET is a work in progress, and continues being regularly expanded
and updated.
