SENNA toolkit

Intro: SENNA is a software distributed under a non-commercial license, which outputs a host of Natural Language Processing (NLP) predictions: part-of-speech (POS) tags, chunking (CHK), name entity recognition (NER), semantic role labeling (SRL) and syntactic parsing (PSG).

SENNA is fast because it uses a simple architecture, self-contained because it does not rely on the output of existing NLP system, and accurate because it offers state-of-the-art or near state-of-the-art performance.

Intro: DKPro Similarity is an open source software package for developing text similarity algorithms. The framework is designed to complement DKPro Core, a collection of software components for natural language processing (NLP) based on the Apache UIMA framework. By leveraging the power of the tools available in DKPro Core, it allows for a rich set of similarity computation operations, including the design of full-fledged language processing pipelines and fully customizable processing steps.
