I spent the weekend comparing the Stanford parser to RelEx, and learned a lot. RelEx really does deserve to be called a “semantic relation extractor”, and not just a “dependency relation extractor”. It provides a more abstract, more semantic output than the Stanford parser, which sticks very narrowly to the syntactic structure of [...]

This has me pretty excited, because, so far, it seems to be reasonably accurate (i.e. not terrible), and lightning-fast. I’m doing this by doing some heavy statistical NLP work, computing statistical correlations between word senses and syntax — specifically, [...]
