Natural Language Processing
SENSE (Self-Expanding linguistic knowledge base from Sense Elicitation) was a historically important natural language processing system particularly useful for word sense disambiguation.
Natural Language Processing
SentiStrength is a sentiment analysis (opinion mining) program. SentiStrength estimates the strength of positive and negative sentiment in short texts. It is ideal for short texts like tweets. There is an online version and a downloadable Java version which has more options. It is stated to be able to analyse 16,000 tweets per second. To enter multiply short test, each text has to be put on a new line. SentiStrength will give a rating of the positive and negative sentiment strength for each line in a generated text file.
Natural Language Processing
Sketch Engine is a tool to explore how language works. Its algorithms analyze authentic texts of billions of words (text corpora) to identify instantly what is typical in language and what is rare, unusual or emerging usage. It is also designed for text analysis or text mining applications. Sketch Engine is used by linguists, lexicographers, translators, students and teachers. It is a first choice solution for publishers, universities, translation agencies and national language institutes throughout the world. Sketch Engine contains 500 ready-to-use corpora in 90+ languages, each having a size of up to 30 billion words to provide a truly representative sample of language. Some of its functions are: word sketch, sketch difference, thesaurus, concordance, parallel concordance, wordlist, n-grams, keywords & terms, bilingual term extractiontrends and OneClick Dictionary.
Natural Language Processing
SOLAR (A Semantically Oriented Lexical ARchive) was a historically important program originally available only over ARPAnet. It facilitated the semantic and conceptual analysis of English-language texts.
Natural Language Processing
spaCy is an open-source software library for advanced natural language processing, written in the programming languages Python and Cython. The library is published under the MIT license and currently offers statistical neural network models for English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Dutch and multi-language NER, as well as tokenization for various other languages. Unlike NLTK, which is widely used for teaching and research, spaCy focuses on providing software for production usage. As of version 1.0, spaCy also supports deep learning workflows that allow connecting statistical models trained by popular machine learning libraries like TensorFlow, Keras, Scikit-learn or PyTorch. spaCy's machine learning library, Thinc, is also available as a separate open-source Python library. It features convolutional neural network models for part-of-speech tagging, dependency parsing and named entity recognition, as well as API improvements around training and updating models, and constructing custom processing pipelines.
Natural Language Processing
The speech tagger allows you to highlight different parts of a text where each part is identified by a different colour. The tool uses TreeTagger to find the different parts of speech. Note that using the TreeTagger tool is very taxing on the server and may take a long time before results are returned.
