GATE is a open source text mining platform capable of solving almost any text processing problem. It comes with various 'processing modules' such as pre-processing, lexical, syntactic, and semantic resources. GATE is shipped with ANNIE (a Nearly-New Information Extraction System) which is a set of processing modules ready to be applied out-of-the-box. In addition, GATE comes equipped with JAPE grammar which is probably the most powerful rule-based language available for text mining!
In short, a great tool for beginners and experts alike!
