class Chunker extends AnnotatorModel[Chunker] with HasSimpleAnnotate[Chunker]

This annotator matches a pattern of part-of-speech tags in order to return meaningful phrases from document. Extracted part-of-speech tags are mapped onto the sentence, which can then be parsed by regular expressions. The part-of-speech tags are wrapped by angle brackets <> to be easily distinguishable in the text itself. This example sentence will result in the form:

"Peter Pipers employees are picking pecks of pickled peppers."
"<NNP><NNP><NNS><VBP><VBG><NNS><IN><JJ><NNS><.>"

To then extract these tags, regexParsers need to be set with e.g.:

val chunker = new Chunker()
  .setInputCols("sentence", "pos")
  .setOutputCol("chunk")
  .setRegexParsers(Array("<NNP>+", "<NNS>+"))

When defining the regular expressions, tags enclosed in angle brackets are treated as groups, so here specifically "<NNP>+" means 1 or more nouns in succession. Additional patterns can also be set with addRegexParsers.

For more extended examples see the Examples and the ChunkerTestSpec.
