Dear Colleagues,

Greetings,

I am using CRF++ for Named Entity Recognition (NER) task and in the
documentation of CRF++ it is stated that we should set the hyper
parameter C to an appropriate value.
<quote>
This parameter trades the balance between overfitting and
underfitting. The results will significantly be influenced by this
parameter.

Is there any available tool (perhaps a perl script) to perform
parameter tuning of CRF++ on development set?

Best wishes,
