This is an example client for NLTK REST using the Apache CXF library.

To test it, start up the NLTK REST server:

If you need to install NTK REST:

1. pip install nltkrest

Then, start the server:

1. nltk-server -p 8881 -v

Then, try the client by first building it:

1. mvn install (requires Maven)

Then, run:

1. java -jar target/nltkrest-examples-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar "This is Chris Mattmann. I live in Los Angeles, California."

Which should return:

Performing NLTK analysis on text: This is Chris Mattmann. I live in Los Angeles, California. 
Connecting to NLTKRest at: [http:https://localhost:8881/nltk]
{
    "names": [
        "Chris Mattmann",
        "Los Angeles",
        "California"
    ],
    "result": "success"
}

NLTKandCoreNLP compares the results of Named Entities recognized by Stanford CoreNLP against those extracted by Tika trunk containing ability to use NLTKNeRecignizer Parser.

1. java -cp target/nltkrest-examples-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar edu.usc.ir.visualization.NLTKandCoreNLP "url/to/solr/dev" "username" "password" "path/to/destination/folder"

Which should return:

Json ready for Visualization: path/to/destination/folder/nltk_vs_corenlp.json

You can then follow the procedure to see a beautiful visualization using instructions from Tika-NLTKvsCoreNLP
