textproc/yamcha 0.33nb12 NetBSD

YamCha is a generic, customizable, and open source text chunker oriented toward a lot of NLP tasks, such as POS tagging, Named Entity Recognition, base NP chunking, and Text Chunking. YamCha is using a state-of-the-art machine learning algorithm called Support Vector Machines (SVMs), first introduced by Vapnik in 1995.

YamCha is exactly the same system which performed the best in the CoNLL2000 Shared Task, Chunking and BaseNP Chunking task.
