Named Entity Recognition for golang via the [MITIE (MIT Information

Extraction)](https://github.com/mit-nlp/MITIE) library.

### Installation

- Install the MITIE library and header files. This does vary by platform. On a

  mac the easiest way would be `brew install mitie`. You'd have build from

  source on a linux system.

- The go bindings will fail if the MITIE header files and dynamic library are

  not found.

- `go get github.com/sbl/ner`

### Usage

See `_example/main.go` for a simple usage example. Training files in your

language of choice are required to be able to detect entities in text. See

https://github.com/mit-nlp/MITIE#initial-setup for reference.

```

// In a nutshell

ext, err := ner.NewExtractor(path)

defer ext.Free()

if err != nil {

  return

}

tokens := ner.Tokenize(txt)

es, err := ext.Extract(tokens)

if err != nil {

  return

}

```
