U-Compare

U-Compare is an integrated text mining/natural language processing system based on the UIMA Framework, which provides access to a large collection of ready-to-use interoperable natural language processing components, currently the world's largest UIMA component repository.

U-Compare allows users to build complex NLP workflows via an easy drag-and-drop interface, and makes visualization and comparison of the outputs of these workflows simple.

U-Compare is the result of a collaboration between the Tsujii Laboratory at the University of Tokyo, the Center for Computational Pharmacology at the University of Colorado, and the National Centre for Text Mining. For further details, please see the U-Compare website

A video demonstration is of U-Compare is available below.
