Understand the project
Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when you want to run the documented NLP functions as a Dockerized service and make HTTP requests to them from your application.
Who it is for
- Developers integrating text analysis into server-side applications.
- Teams that want to run NLP endpoints in a Docker container and call them over HTTP.
Documented uses
- Parse sentences into structured linguistic information.
- Analyze sentiment and subjectivity and classify sentence types.
- Extract named entities and relations from text.
- Resolve pronouns and other references to nouns.
- Look up definitions, synonyms, examples, usage frames, and hypernyms for words.
Before you choose
Requirements & limits
- The quickstart maps the service to port 8080 and demonstrates a request to the parse endpoint.
- The README identifies spaCy for parsing, WordNet for word lookup, and neuralcoref for coreference resolution.
- The documented routes include parsing, word lookup, and coreference; model details also describe sentiment, entity extraction, sentence types, and relation extraction.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Source-based practical guide
Start the Dockerized NLP service
Run Languagecrunch locally with its documented HTTP service listening on port 8080.
Before you start
- Docker
Steps
Pull and run the image with the command below.
docker run -it -p 8080:8080 artpar/languagecrunchSend a URL-encoded sentence to
http://localhost:8080/nlp/parse?sentence=.
Expected outcome
A local Languagecrunch service is listening on port 8080, and the parse endpoint can be called with a sentence.
Guide limitations
- The documented quickstart covers running the container and an example parse request; it does not describe production deployment.
