Method Detail

parseText

String parseText(String header,
                 String document)

Returns a dependency parse tree formatted in the default CoNLL format. The returned string may represent multiple parse tress, espeically if the given document contains multiple sentences.

header - The header text that should label each parsed tree

document - The raw text to be parsed

parseText

String parseText(String header,
                 StringPair[] sentence)

Returns a dependency parse tree formatted in the default CoNLL format. The returned string will contain only one parse tree If header is not null, then it will be first line of the parse tree, otherwise only the parse tree will be returned.

Parameters:

sentence - The part of speech tagged words in a sentence.
