Canary NLP Platform (NOT A CORE)

Canary is a free / open-source platform for development of natural language processing (NLP) tools. It is a GUI-based software that is oriented towards researchers, clinicians and analysts without computer science background to empower them to create their own NLP tools. Canary supports many advanced NLP features, such as extraction of concept-value pairs (e.g. left ventricular ejection fraction) and identification of concepts distributed across multiple sentences; all RPDR file formats are supported. A number of production-grade NLP tools can be downloaded for free from the Library section of the Canary website (http://canary.bwh.harvard.edu).
