Package edu.stanford.nlp.ie.desc Description

A few classes for extraction of descriptions of a person or thing. Descriptions are found by using a partial parser over tagged word sequences in a heuristic manner (the maxent tagger is used to tag text). A typically description is something like "The hairy-nosed wombat is a nocturnal creature" or "Jonas Savimbi was the president of Kenya from 1990 to 2000." The key class is DescExtractor. Most of the other files relate to a JavaCC parser.
