Natural Language Processing
VINCI is a natural language generation environment, first introduced in 1986 and with a sustained web presence. It provides linguists with a collection of linguist-friendly metalanguages for modelling natural language. It can generate sentences and words according to user specifications to assist in the study of linguistic phenomena.
Natural Language Processing
VOCAB - U - LISTER was a tool for lemmatizing texts developed at the University of Toronto in the 1990s. It could handle Spanish text and could process as many as 2000 words at a time.
Natural Language Processing
WebLicht is an execution environment for automatic annotation of text corpora. Linguistic tools such as tokenizers, part of speech taggers, and parsers are encapsulated as web services, which can be combined by the user into custom processing chains. The resulting annotations can then be visualized in an appropriate way, such as in a table or tree format. It is often the case that a tool relies on one or more annotation layers to exist in the input data before it can begin processing. WebLicht can assist the user in building a processing chain by determining which tools are able to operate on the data at any given point and offering only those tools as options to add to the chain. There are 2 modes for building tool chains: Easy Mode lets you choose pre-defined processing chains Advanced Mode allows you to build customized tool chains. Login is required to use the tools and corpora. Login with email addresses from most recognized European universities will be automatically accepted. Individuals with a Non-European email address need to create an account with clarin.eu Developed by the German language resource infrastructure (D-SPIN) and Common language resources and technology infrastructure (CLARIN)
Natural Language Processing
Weft QDA is a free and open-source tool for the analysis of textual data. You may import documents from plain text or PDF, apply character-level coding, category and document memos, retrieve coded text, apply simple coding statistics, apply free-text search, and export to HTML and CSV formats.
Natural Language Processing
WinBrill is a part-of-speech tagger developed by Eric Brill in the 1990s for the French language laboratory ATILF. It was originally available for UNIX, with WinBrill optimized for Windows 95/98/NT as of 1999. The ATILP provided a vocabulary and rules files based on FRANTEXT data. Versions of the Brill tagger are still extant online.
Natural Language Processing
word2vec is a tool for computing vector representations of words for natural language processign and other related research. It generates a vocabulary from the user's text and learns a vector representation of its words.
