Factorie (https://github.com/factorie/factorie) might be what you need (i'd
suggest conditional random field/maximum entropy Markov mode for NER).
Also you can use Java's libraries (for example, i'm using opennlp's
implementation of MEMM for close-to-NER-problem in Scala)
Chalk (https://github.com/scalanlp/chalk) is opennlp-based NLP library, it
also may be a good fit.

never tried but might fit your need: http://www.scalanlp.org/
It's the parent project of both breeze (already part of spark) and epic.

However you'll have to train for IT (not part of the supported list)

(actually I never used it because for my very small needs, I generally just
perform a small naive bayes trial, which does more or less the job ^^)

Spark & NLP

[Paolo Platter]

Hi all,

What is your preferred scala NLP lib ? why ?
Is there any items on the spark’s road map to integrate NLP features ?

I basically need to perform NER line by line, so I don’t need a deep 
integration with the distributed engine.
I only want simple dependencies and the chance to build a dictionary for 
italian Language.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks
