U-compare Sample Clauses

U-compare. U-Compare5 (▇▇▇▇ et al., 2009a) is a system based on UIMA but aims to provide a platform that is easier to use and allows users to make visualizations and comparison between the tools. It uses the UIMA tools for text mining and natural language processing. U-Compare contains its own graphical user interface and workflow editor which can be used to create workflows to be used with UIMA and shared with other users. Several components can be run in parallel and their respective results can be compared with each other and evaluated. U-Compare is a joint project between the University of Tokyo, the Center for Computational Pharma- cology (CCP) at the University of Colorado Health Science Center, and the National Centre for Text Mining (NaCTeM) at the University of Manchester. The platform itself, i.e. the U-Compare type sys- tem, is released under the Apache license and is free for research purposes, but cannot be re- distributed or re-used if any changes have been done to its code. The comparison generator, the GUI and the other shared parts can be used freely for research, too, but these components must not be re- distributed or re-used. U-Compare provides a number of corpus readers (Biological Entity Annotated Corpora, Biological Event Annotated Corpora, BIO, XMI, and plain text) and writers (XMI, Inline XML, Annotation Printer, BIO), syntactic tools (sentence splitters, tokenizers, POS taggers, lemmatizers, CFG parsers, dependency parsers, and deep parsers), semantic tools (named entity recognizers, biological event recognizers, an abbreviation detector). These are UIMA tools that have been integrated into U- Compare. Additionally, the U-Compare Annotation Viewer to visualise annotation instances, MoriV to visualise HPSG feature structures and CFG tree structures, and Annotation Comparator are inte- grated into the system. Additional UIMA compatible components can be used with U-Compare with little effort. Other com- ponents can be wrapped as well by making them compatible with the U-Compare type system (Kano 5 ▇▇▇▇://▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ et al., 2009b). In order to create compatible interfaces, a new UIMA Aggregate Analysis Engine com- ponent needs to be created that comprises three components: a type systems converter to convert the U-Compare output to the input format required by the tool, the original component, and another con- verter that converts the new component's output into the U-Compare type system. It can then be de- ployed as a UIMA Soap web service,...
