Example with MITIE PHP

MITIE PHP is a PHP wrapper over MITIE (MIT Information Extraction) for classic NLP tasks. The snippet below extracts named entities from text and returns their types, such as person, organization, and location.

Example of use


                
<?php

use Mitie\NER;

$modelPath = 'ner_model.dat';

$text = 'Barack Obama visited Microsoft headquarters in Seattle.';

$ner = new NER($modelPath);
$entities = $ner->entities($text);

print_r($entities);

Result: Memory: 0.002 Mb Time running: < 0.001 sec.
