Overview of LVG

This annotator wraps the National Library of Medicine (NLM) SPECIALIST lexical tools. It generates a canonical form for words and also generates a list of lemma entries with Penn Treebank tags. These tags could be useful for a part of speech (POS) tagger. However, for the OpenNLP POS tagger, we use a tag dictionary rather than lemma information.

Refer to the documentation for the POS tagger annotator.
