What you can do with Neji?

With Neji you can build text mining processing pipelines for:

• Rapidly create REST services and interactive web pages for text mining tasks
• Concept recognition:
  • Dictionary-based, Machine learning-based and Rule-based
• Train machine learning models for NER (Named Entity Recognition):
  • Normalization with dictionary matching and Stopword filtering
• Linguistic parsing:
  • Sentence splitting, Tokenisation, Lemmatisation, Chunking and Dependency parsing
• Convert between corpora formats:
  • Input formats: BioC, XML, HTML and Text
  • Output formats: JSON, A1, BC2, Base64, BioC, CoNLL, IeXML, Pipe and PipeExtended

Build your processing pipeline

1. Read documents
   • Raw, XML and BioC formats, supporting Pubmed and BioMed Central articles.
2. Process target data
   • Modules for sentence splitting, tokenization, dependency parsing, concept recognition (dictionary and machine learning), and more.
3. Get concept tree
   • Innovative concept tree with nested and intersected annotations supporting multiple identifiers.
4. Store information
   • Various known output formats: XML, A1, CoNLL, JSON, and BioC.
