"""
Read tuples from a corpus consisting of categorized strings.
For example, from the question classification corpus:

NUM:dist How far is it from Denver to Aspen ?
LOC:city What county is Modesto , California in ?
HUM:desc Who was Galileo ?
DESC:def What is an atom ?
NUM:date When did Hawaii become a state ?
"""

from nltk.corpus.reader.api import *

# based on PPAttachmentCorpusReader
from nltk.corpus.reader.util import *


# [xx] Should the order of the tuple be reversed -- in most other places
# in nltk, we use the form (data, tag) -- e.g., tagged words and
# labeled texts for classifiers.
