      Hi Rakesh,

      There is indeed some code for doing chunking. If you download the latest release of Grok, look at grok/src/java/opennlp/grok/preprocess/chunk/, or online at:

      http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/grok/grok/src/java/opennlp/grok/preprocess/chunk/

      One caveat: Grok is no longer being actively developed as it has been split into two projects, OpenCCG (parsing) and a kit within OpenNLP (mainly preprocessing stuff). Unfortunately, it looks like Tom Morton still hasn't brought the NP chunking stuff into the OpenNLP fold, so I hope you can get things to work with the old Grok code. (I'm cc'ing this to Joerg, who wrote the chunking code --- Joerg, have you played with that code recently?)

      I'm posting your message and my reply to the Grok sourceforge forum. I would appreciate it if any further correspondence happens there so that the discussion will be there for others to see.

      Cheers,
      Jason
