list of natural language processing resources and tools

Postby mcthulhu » Sat May 06, 2017 12:12 pm

I thought I would offer a few additions to reineke's list of language tools at viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2900. I have my own collection of bookmarks and notes on Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools; this includes some Dutch support per zhuzilu's recent question.

"Tool" is a broad concept; these do a wide variety of useful things. Some of these are ready to use or even have Web interfaces; some are software libraries meant to support other tools, in a variety of programming languages. The range of natural languages covered out-of-the-box by various tools varies wildly. Some of these links I probably found here. I note them as I come across them and have not attempted to organize them. This list probably barely scratches the surface; there is a lot out there, with more coming all the time. I'm still exploring, and will probably end up integrating some of the tools below with mine (which is the main reason I've been exploring - I don't want to recreate components that are already available).

https://languagemachines.github.io/frog/
Frog is an integration of memory-based natural language processing (NLP) modules developed for Dutch. All NLP modules are based on Timbl, the Tilburg memory-based learning software package.
Frog's current version will tokenize, tag, lemmatize, and morphologically segment word tokens in Dutch text files, will assign a dependency graph to each sentence, will identify the base phrase chunks in the sentence, and will attempt to find and label all named entities.

See also https://proycon.github.io/LaMachine/. Dutch tools available in a VirtualBox image, etc.

https://cloud.google.com/natural-language/ - Google Cloud Natural Language API provides analysis of entities, sentiment, and syntax, including POS, lemma, and morphology for several languages; nice sentence diagrams!

You can probably find more on Docker Hub.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/aligner/ - LF Aligner creates translation memories from parallel texts.

http://www.omegat.org/en/omegat.html - OmegaT Computer-Assisted Translation software for translators (fast and robust)

https://github.com/heartsome/translationstudio8 - formerly commercial Computer-Assisted Translation software, now open-source

http://felix-cat.com/ - formerly commercial Computer-Assisted Translation software, now free

http://okapiframework.org/ - set of tools to support localization and translation processes

http://www.farkastranslations.com/tmlookup.php - TMLookup is an open-source tool to search very large translation memories (bilingual/multilingual databases), without a CAT tool. TMLookup can handle any number of languages and return search results in well under a second even if the database contains tens of millions of entries. by the author of LF Aligner

https://www.xbench.net/ - terminology management tool that can handle lots of formats; current Unicode version is commercial, older non-Unicode one is free

(There are a lot of other resources out there for the CAT category, and I haven't listed any of the main commercial tool vendors; this is probably enough CAT resources for now, though I think CAT software and translation memories in general are very useful resources for language learners - the easiest way by far to use bilingual corpora.)

And of course there is http://www.laurenceanthony.net/software.html, which includes Antconc, a free corpus analysis toolkit and concordancer (monolingual); AntPConc, a freeware **parallel** corpus analysis toolkit for concordancing and text analysis using UTF-8 encoded text files; AntWordProfiler, which I might have mentioned above; ProtAnt, TagAnt, and many other cool tools, all very easy to install and use.

Under Aramorph, you can also add the following tools, which are also based on the Buckwalter Morphological Analyzer data set:

Fuzzy Arabic Dictionary (dictionary lookup of transliterated Arabic words)
ElixirFM (tokenization, lookup, inflection of Arabic words)

Learners of Arabic not familiar with the default Arabic keyboard layout might also be interested in the following IMEs:

Yamli Editor website (converts transliterated Arabic to Arabic characters)
Microsoft Maren (offline IME for Arabic)
