Dear Group,

I am looking for a Conditional Random Field implementation in Python.

I tried Monte Python but not finding any good tutorial for it.

Regards,
Subhabrata.

If you are just looking for some CRF toolkit, python may not be a good choice.

According to my experience, a naive python implementation of linear-chained CRF (with numpy and scipy) can be 10 times slower than some popular CRF toolkits in other languages.

I recommend the CRFSuite http://www.chokkan.org/software/crfsuite/ . It's fast and well-documented.
