Ask HN: Natural Language Processing in Objective C?

2 points by rytis 15y ago

I think I heard someone mentioning that OS X has some NLP capabilities built in (was that a CLI tool?), but I can't quite find the reference. Basically I need some simple functions to do statistical analysis, etc on a given piece of text. I'd pick NLTK, but it has to be ObjC and I'd prefer system libs for that... Thanks!

Objective C is a superset of C. Why does it need to be ObjC?

  no, it doesn't need to be objC, C is perfectly fine, but it needs to be OS X friendly, i.e. no bizarre deps, etc. ideally, available as part of the standard sdk. if such thing exist, obviously. i remember someone mentioning built-in cli tool, but i can't find the details... :(
