Chunking of text invloves dividing a text into syntactically correlated words. For example, the sentence 'He ate an apple.' can be divided as follows:

Each chunk has an open boundary and close boundary that delimit the word groups as a minimal non-recursive unit. This can be formally expressed by using IOB prefixes.

Objective

The objective of this experiment is to understand the concept of chunking and get familiar with the basic chunk tagset.
