Tutorials

From Mallet

The currently available MALLET documentation consists of:

• Tutorial on command line use of MALLET for document classification.
• Example of using the SimpleTagger class, which uses Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) for labelling sequences.
• Javadoc (http://mallet.cs.umass.edu/mallet/javadoc/index.html) for the MALLET library (very sparse)
• Tutorials on using Mallet with Jython
• A nice intro (http://courses.washington.edu/ling572/winter07/homework/mallet_guide.pdf) to Mallet written by Fei Xia (http://faculty.washington.edu/fxia/) at University of Washington for an NLP course.

There are good examples of code for front-end functionality in directories named "examples", and in source files named "TUI.java", and in the stand-alone document classification programs in src/edu/umass/cs/mallet/base/classify/tui.
