Open Source Perl Natural Language Processing (NLP) Tools

A minimalist approach to share text documents and data annotations. Allows a large number of different annotations to be represented. Project files contain: - simple code to hold/read/write data and perform sample processing. - BioC-formatted corpora - BioC tools that work with BioC corpora BioC goals - simplicity - interoperability - broad use - reuse There should be little investment required to learn to use a format or a software module to process that format. We are interested in reuse, and we focus on common NLP tasks that are broadly useful for textmining.

MARF is a general cross-platform framework with a collection of algorithms for audio (voice, speech, and sound) and natural language text analysis and recognition along with sample applications (identification, NLP, etc.) of its use, implemented in Java.

MutationFinder is a biomedical natural language processing (NLP) system for extracting mentions of point mutations from free text. MutationFinder achieves high performance (99% precision, 81% recall on blind test data) as an information extraction system

VecText is an application that converts raw text to a structured format suitable for various data mining software. The application is written in interpreted programming language Perl. A part of the functionality is realized by external modules (e.g., Lingua::Stem::Snowball for stemming). The graphical user interface enables user-friendly software employment without requiring specialized technical skills and knowledge of a particular programming language, names of libraries and their functions, etc. All preprocessing actions are specified using common graphical elements organized into logically related blocks. The graphical user interface is implemented in Perl/Tk. In the command-line interface mode, all options need to be specified using the command line parameters. This way of non-interactive communication enables incorporating the application into a more complicated data mining process integrating several software packages or performing multiple conversions in a batch.

This is a Java-based project for complex event extraction from text and co-reference resolution. Currently the code can read BioNLP shared task format (http://2011.bionlp-st.org/) and i2b2 Natural Language Processing for Clinical Data shared task format (https://www.i2b2.org/NLP/DataSets/Main.php). Event extraction includes finding events and the parameters for an event in a text. The method is based on SVM but other ML algorithms can be adopted. The method details are explained in the following paper: Ehsan Emadzadeh, Azadeh Nikfarjam, and Graciela Gonzalez. 2011. Double Layered Learning for Biological Event Extraction from Text. In Proceedings of the BioNLP 2011 Workshop Companion Volume for Shared Task, Portland, Oregon, June. Association for Computational Linguistic

D.U.C.K (Determine segmentation of Unknown words by using Context Knowledge)is an NLP tool, which aims to find the correct segmentation for unknown words in written Hebrew. Statistics from different scopes will be used to determine the segmentation.

This project is devoted to the development of natural language processing tools and resources for the Lingala language, which is spoken by tens of millions of people in central Africa.

This project aims to build a suite of Natural Language Processing tools. Modules will include corpus indexing and access tools, a part-of-speech tagger, tokenisers, text classification software, etc.

Phalanx - Deidentify Safe Harbor Deidentification Mode of Phalanx is an abridged pipeline of NLP annotators culminating in NER annotators which write output of text offsets. It uses the Safe Harbor deidentification method.

NOTE: I couldn't keep up this project to align with latest Unicode spec. Not sure I may be continuing. You can try Myanmar3 from Myanmar NLP or WinUniInnwa or https://sourceforge.net/projects/prahita/ or something better compliant font. ~Victor --- [This is UniBurma - UniMM project workshop area.
