A Flexible Language Acquisition Tool Kit for Natural Language Processing
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper describes a Flexible Language Acquisition Tool (FLAT) kit, a suite of multipurpose interactive tools for developing NLP systems and/or training computational linguists. The kit facilitates the use of linguistic expertise in developing NLP applications and allows for maintaining and improving a system output without extra programming effort. It can be used for any language based on ANSI character set without reengineering and has an element providing for its integration in any NLP application, thus dramatically reducing the complexity and costs of development process.

متن کاملA Knowledge Acquisition and Management System for Morphological Dictionaries
A system for the acquisition and management of reusable morphological dictionaries is clearly a useful tool for NLP. As such, most currently popular finite-state morphology systems have a number of drawbacks. In the development of Word Manager, these problems have been taken into account. As a result, its knowledge acquisition component is well-developed, and its knowledge representation enable...
