Python, NLTK-based package for shallow parsing of Brazilian Portuguese
Aelius is an ongoing open source project aiming at developing a suite of Python, NLTK-based modules and interfaces to external freely available tools for shallow parsing of Brazilian Portuguese. It also includes language resources such as language models, sample texts, and gold standards. Presently, Aelius already offers facilities for POS-tagging and chunking corpora and outputting annotations in different formats, such as in XML in the TEI P5 encoding scheme.
Donatus is an on-going project consisting of Python, NLTK-based tools and grammars for deep parsing and syntactical annotation of Brazilian Portuguese corpora. It includes a user-friendly graphical user interface for building syntactic parsers with the NLTK, providing some additional functionalities.
PLAtypus's goal is to give people with poor communications skills an opportunity to learn and improve. With the guidance of a tutor, people will be able to learn new signs, sounds or icons and associate them with real life concepts that will, hopefully, help them to better express they needs.
