About
Stanford CoreNLP provides a set of human language technology tools. It can give the base
forms of words, their parts of speech, whether they are names of companies, people, etc.,
normalize dates, times, and numeric quantities, mark up the structure of sentences in terms of
phrases and syntactic dependencies, indicate which noun phrases refer to the same entities,
indicate sentiment, extract particular or open-class relations between entity mentions, get the
quotes people said, etc.
Choose Stanford CoreNLP if you need:
 An integrated NLP toolkit with a broad range of grammatical analysis tools
 A fast, robust annotator for arbitrary texts, widely used in production
 A modern, regularly updated package, with the overall highest quality text analytics
 Support for a number of major (human) languages
 Available APIs for most major modern programming languages
 Ability to run as a simple web service
Stanford CoreNLP’s goal is to make it very easy to apply a bunch of linguistic analysis tools to a
piece of text. A tool pipeline can be run on a piece of plain text with just two lines of code.
CoreNLP is designed to be highly flexible and extensible. With a single option you can change
which tools should be enabled and disabled. Stanford CoreNLP integrates many of Stanford’s
NLP tools, including the part-of-speech (POS) tagger, the named entity recognizer (NER), the
parser, the coreference resolution system, sentiment analysis,bootstrapped pattern learning, and
the open information extraction tools. Moreover, an annotator pipeline can include additional
custom or third-party annotators. CoreNLP’s analyses provide the foundational building blocks
for higher-level and domain-specific text understanding applications.

Download
Stanford CoreNLP can be downloaded via the link below. This will download a large (~500 MB)
zip file containing (1) the CoreNLP code jar, (2) the CoreNLP models jar (required in your
classpath for most tasks), (3) the libraries required to run CoreNLP, and (4) documentation /
source code for the project. Unzip this file, open the folder that results and you’re ready to use it.

Download CoreNLP 3.9.2

Alternatively, Stanford CoreNLP is available on Maven Central. Source is available on GitHub.
For more information on obtaining CoreNLP, see the download page. To download earlier
versions of Stanford CoreNLP or language packs for earlier versions, go to the history page.
The table below has jars for the current release with all the models for each language we
support. Due to size issues we have divided the English resources into two jars. The English
(KBP) models jar contains extra resources needed to run relation extraction and entity linking.

Human languages supported

The basic distribution provides model files for the analysis of well-edited English, but the engine
is compatible with models for other languages. In the table above, we provide packaged models
for Arabic, Chinese, French, German, and Spanish. We also provide two jars that contain all of
our English models, which include various variant models, and in particular models optimized for
working with uncased English (e.g., mostly or all either uppercase or lowercase). There is also
some third party support for additional languages (and we would welcome more!). You can find
out more about using CoreNLP with various human languages on the other human
languages page.
Programming languages and operating systems
Stanford CoreNLP is written in Java; recent releases require Java 1.8+. You need to have Java
installed to run CoreNLP. However, you can interact with CoreNLP via the command-line or its
web service; many people use CoreNLP while writing their own code in Javascript, Python, or
some other language.
You can use Stanford CoreNLP from the command-line, via its original Java programmatic API,
via the object-oriented simple API, via third party APIs for most major modern programming
languages, or via a web service. It works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

License
The full Stanford CoreNLP is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3 or later. More
precisely, all the Stanford NLP code is GPL v2+, but CoreNLP uses some Apache-licensed
libraries, and so our understanding is that the the composite is correctly licensed as v3+. You
can run almost all of CoreNLP under GPL v2; you simply need to omit the time-related libraries,
and then you lose the functionality of SUTime. Note that the license is the full GPL, which allows
many free uses, but not its use in proprietary software which is distributed to others. For
distributors of proprietary software, CoreNLP is also available from Stanford under a commercial
licensingYou can contact us at java-nlp-support@lists.stanford.edu. If you don’t need a
commercial license, but would like to support maintenance of these tools, we welcome gift
funding: use this form and write “Stanford NLP Group open source software” in the Special
Instructions.

parsing, coreference resolution, sentiment, or Open IE. You can find more information on the
