Using NLP APIs

We will demonstrate the NER process using OpenNLP, Stanford API, and LingPipe. Each of these provide alternative techniques that can often do a good job of identifying entities in the text. The following declaration will serve as the sample text to demonstrate the APIs:

  + " paid $2.45 for an ale. ", 
  "Joe wanted to go to Vermont for the day to visit a cousin who "
