• Gate – Rule Engine + a ton of wrappers and plugins to statistical methods. Tends to be slow in certain circumstances.
• Apache OpenNLP - Machine Learning (MaxEnt) based NLP Library with a set of models for POS detection, NER, Sentence Chunking
• Apache UIMA – similar to Gate a framework to create NLP Pipelines, but more strict in the definition of pipe elements
• Stanford Parser – GPL based NLP Toolkit with a lots of functions
• GramLab NLP Tools

C
