coreNLP

To download the R library and corresponding CoreNLP java library, run the following in R:

devtools::install_github("statsmaths/coreNLP")
coreNLP::downloadCoreNLP()

Then, in order to run the package, the following code initializes rJava correctly (if run from the same directory as the above):

library(coreNLP)
initCoreNLP()

As a simple example of usage, this how to annotate the opening lines to "The Cat in the Hat":

catInHat = c("the sun did not shine.", "it was too wet to play.",
             "so we sat in the house all that cold, cold, wet day.")
output = annotateString(catInHat)

Which gives the following information via getToken, getDependency and getSentiment:
