Balie Commandline Interface

===========================

`balie-ner-cli` provides a commandline interface to the named-entity

recognition features of [Balie](http://balie.sourceforge.net/

 "baseline information extraction") — a Java library that can be used

to perform various NLP tasks.  

INSTALLATION

============

Download and install Balie if you haven't done so. Switch back to the

`balie-ner-cli` directory. Edit the `balie_dir` variable in `config.yml` to

point to your Balie installation directory.

USAGE

=====

`python balie-cli.py -i input.txt` will read text from *input.txt* and print a

list of named entities to STDOUT (one NE per line).

`python balie-cli.py -i input.txt -o output.txt` will read text from

*input.txt* and write a list of named entities to *output.txt* (one NE per

line).

Example

-------

    $ cat input.txt 

    Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and George Bush met in a bar in Wisconsin. They

    were discussing issues regarding the Netherlands, the Queen of England and

    Boy George.

    $ python ./balie-cli.py -i input.txt

    ('Hillary Clinton', 'PERSON')

    ('George Bush', 'PERSON')

    ('Wisconsin', 'LOCATION')

    ('Queen', 'PERSON')

    ('England', 'LOCATION')

    ('Boy George', 'PERSON')

Note that *Barack Obama* wasn't recognized, as the training data that Balie

comes with is already a few years old (ca. 2007).
