Configuration File

The configuration file is used to configure different settings and feature options.

Below are most important configuration elements.

Note:The you should use the same feature settings (see below) as the training one when you tag texts. The default model contains all of the following features, meaning that all features are used for training.

Setting a feature to =0 means turning it off, whereas setting it to =1 means turning it on.
