R packages - Oct 2018 - new R package crfsuite for building classification models in Natural Language Processing

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to announce the release of a new R package on CRAN called
crfsuite.
The crfsuite package is an R package specific to *Natural Language
Processing* and allows you to easily build and apply models for




* - named entity recognition - text chunking - part of speech tagging -
intent recognition or  - classification of any category you have in mind*

The focus of the implementation is on allowing the R user to build such
models *on his/her own data.*

In order to facilitate creating training data on your own data, a shiny app
is made available in this R package which allows you to easily tag your own
chunks of text, with your own categories, which can next be used to build a
crfsuite model.
The package also plays nicely together with the udpipe R package (
https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=udpipe), which you need in order to
extract predictive features for your words to be used in the crfsuite model.

More details at the development repository

Hope it is useful to you. Feel free to provide feedback at

best,
