CrfSuite wrapper

[GoogleCodeExporter]

[from Martin Riedl]

I developed a wrapper for the CrfSuite using the cleartk-framework.  As 
CrfSuite is a C++ application I added the binaries for Windows, Linux and for 
OSX. If there are any problems with this binary, the CrfSuite can also be 
installed locally on the system.  This wrapper has been used by about 14 
persons using different operation systems without any major problems.

The CrfSuite implementations outperforms the MalletCrf by speed and also
by the classification results.  I'd like to contribute my Maven package to the 
ClearTk framework, so a larger community could gain from this package.

Added back in r3900. A few issues remain (Issue 295 and Issue 314) but I'm 
going to close this one since the basic code is all there now.

Hi Martin,

Now I need to convert  ACE 2005, CoNLL 2003 to CRF++ input format:
I don't know if your CrfSuite could help to do this? Can you give me a 
suggestion to solve my task in a convenient way?

Many thanks!
Goerge

Hi George,

the CrfSuite (http://www.chokkan.org/software/crfsuite/tutorial.html) has a 
different format than the one used in CRF++ 
(http://crfpp.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/index.html#usage). Please refer 
directly to the CrfSuite page, as this is just a Wrapper for ClearTk to use the 
CrfSuite. On the CRF++ page also the format is described (which is actually the 
CoNNL format).

Regards
Martin
