This page is for language-independent resources for computational natural language processing.
Language-independent General Meta-resources that are not specific to NLP have their own page.
Software
- An Crúbadán: Corpus building for minority languages. Web crawling software “designed to exploit the vast quantities of text freely available on the web as a way of bringing the benefits of statistical NLP to languages with small numbers of speakers and/or limited computational resources.” Kevin P. Scannell. [Mamandel 00:25, 14 May 2010 (UTC)]
- Apertium. A free/open-source rule-based machine translation platform offering free linguistic data (morphological analysers, bilingual dictionaries, etc.) in XML formats for a range of languages.
- Foma: a finite-state compiler and library. Hulden, Mans. 2009. Proceedings of the EACL 2009 Demonstrations Session, pages 29–32, Athens, Greece, 3 April 2009. PDF
- Helsinki Finite-State Transducer Technology (HFST). A free/open-source rewrite of the Xerox finite-state tools. It provides an implementation both of the
lexcandtwolcformalisms.
- Universal Networking Language (UNL). “an artificial language for representing, describing, summarizing, refining, storing and disseminating information in a natural-language-independent format. It is a kind of mark-up language which represents not the formatting but the core information of a text. As HTML annotations can be realized differently in the context of different applications, machines, displays, etc., so UNL expressions can have different realizations in different human languages.”
- VISL Constraint Grammar. A free/open-source software reimplementation and extension of Fred Karlsson's Constraint Grammar formalism.
NLP Literature
- Machine Translation Archive. Electronic repository and bibliography of articles, books and papers on topics in machine translation, computer translation systems, and computer-based translation tools. >6400 items. Aims to be comprehensive on English-language publications since 1990; adding earlier papers and books to provide partial coverage from the 1950s.
- Probabilistic tagging of minority language data: a case study using Qtag. Christopher Cox. 2010. In Corpus-linguistic applications, ed. Stefan Th. Gries, Stefanie Wulff, and Mark Davies. 2010. Electronic: ISBN 9789042028012; hardback: ISBN 9789042028005. Reviewed in LINGUIST List 21.3318 (2010-08-17) by Andrew Caines.
- OBELEX: Online Bibliography of Electronic Lexicography. “Articles, monographs, anthologies, and reviews from the field of electronic lexicography with a special focus on online lexicography.” Dictionaries not included, but included in a supplementary database now under construction. Search by full text, keyword, person, analysed languages, or publication year. “c. 600 entries” (German home page)
