Formalising Natural Languages with Nooj 2014
About this ebook
NooJ is a linguistic development environment that allows linguists to formalize a wide range of linguistic phenomena, and then test, adapt, share and accumulate each elementary description so as to build linguistic “modules”, that is, structured libraries of linguistic resources. NooJ is also used as a corpus processor that can launch sophisticated queries over large corpora of texts, in order to produce various results, including concordances, statistical analyses, information extraction, and automatic translation.
NooJ is used in many research centers all over the world, and linguistic modules are available for more than 20 languages. NooJ is also used by a growing number of software companies to develop various Natural Language Processing applications.
