CRFPP
CRFPP is a Ruby API for the CRF++ library for Conditional Random Fields.
Installation
You will need to install CRF++ prior to installing the CRFPP gem; simply download the sources, unpack them, and then execute the following commands:
$ cd CRF++-0.54
$ make
$ [sudo] make install
$ [sudo] gem install crfpp
If you are using a Debian-based system, you may want to try the Ubuntu packages from Ubunutu NLP Repository:
$ sudo apt-get install libcrf++
$ [sudo] gem install crfpp
Alternatively, if you are using homebrew on OS X you may prefer to:
$ brew install crf++
$ gem install crfpp
NB: if you installed CRF++ yourself make sure to not install (or not to load) the Ruby extensions that are packaged with the sources as they may interfere with the crfpp gem.
