AMALGAM Tagger by email |
Free e-mail tagging service. You have a choice among several tagsets (e.g. Brown, LOB, LLC, SEC, POW, ICE). Emulates several taggers and their tagsets The program is effectively a wrapper for Eric Brill’s Rule-based tagger, retrained at Leeds with 8 alternative tagging schemes. The tagger works by reading in the lexicon, bigram lists and rules from external files. |

AUTASYS
|
A menu-driven automatic tagging and lemmatising system that analyses English texts at word-class level with the Lancaster-Oslo-Bergen (LOB) tagset, the International Corpus of English (ICE) tagset, and the “skeleton” tagset (SKELETON), which is the set of base tags from ICE without features. The tagged text can be subsequently lemmatised (reduced to base forms). |
|
Free e-mail tagging service for short texts. Send text as mail to: tagger@clg.bham.ac.uk. Tagset used (similar to the Brown/LOB/Penn set) is listed here. |

fnTBL
|
- free, public domain software designed for large, dynamic classification tasks, such as part-of-speech tagging, base noun phrase chunking or word sense disambiguation, but can be used to perform any classification task with symbolic features. fnTBL improves the running time dramatically compared with the original TBL algorithm proposed by Eric Brill, obtaining a speed-up of up to 2 orders of magnitude, while maintaining the same performance. - basic NLP tasks for English (part-of-speech tagging, base noun phrase and text chunking) are already trained and are part of the distribution; others (e.g. Swedish part-of-speech) can be downloaded from the web site. |

Machinese Phrase Tagger/Machinese Syntax (Connexor) |
Commercial product based on FDG (functional dependency grammar). The Machinese Syntax parser enriches text (plain text, xml, sgml, html) with functional dependencies that show sentence-level relations and functions between words and linguistic structures. Machinese Phrase Tagger is for light morphosyntactic markup (base forms, morphology and phrasal tags). NOTE: Company was formerly called "Conexor" (with one "n" instead of two) and the base product was initially called EngCG-2 Tagger. That evolved and became embedded in the English version of FDG Lite and the full FDG. (FDG Lite = EngCG-2 + shallow phrasal tags (starting with "&"); the full FDG also produced functional tags and functional dependencies between words.) EngCG-2 was an extended version of the original ENGCG tagger, which assigned morphological and part-of-speech tags to words in English text. It was based on the Constraint Grammar framework advocated by a team of computational linguists in Helsinki, Finland. |
|
MBT |
A free(?) memory-based part-of-speech tagger-generator and tagger. Memory-based tagging is based on the idea that words occurring in similar contexts will have the same POS tag. The idea is implemented using the memory-based learning software package TiMBL, version 4.3.1. The MBT software package makes use of TiMBL to implement a Part of Speech (POS) tagger-generator. The software consists of two executables: Mbtg to generate a tagger, and Mbt to use a generated tagger on text data. The package contains the code (C++), the Reference Guide, and some demo data. MBT has been applied to Dutch, English, Spanish, Swedish, and German |

MTP (Münster Tagging Project) and Xlex/www (for any language) |
Xlex is a suite of tools (mostly Unix command line tools written in Perl) for linguistic data processing, with an web-based, graphical front-end, Xlex/www. Free licence for non-commercial purposes. Xlex/www includes: tokenizer, segmenter, POS-tagger, index tool, concordance tools (regexp) and collocation tools. The Xlex suite is easily portable to any platform with Perl and a web server. Any browser with frames, CSS, and JavaScript capability can be used as Xlex/www client. The tools are written in Perl (except the POS tagger, implemented in C++) and normally started from a command line interface and intended for use as filters in Unix-style piped commands. Currently trained for German and English |

a web-based environment which allows access to some of UCREL’s corpus annotation and retrieval tools. All processing is done on the remote web server so users gain access from any platform that provides a browser. Tools included in Wmatrix are CLAWS (part-of-speech tagger), USAS (semantic field tagger) and a lemmatiser. Wmatrix also provides production of frequency lists and statistical comparison of those lists. Wmatrix/Matrix a new kind of method and tool for advancing the statistical analysis of electronic corpora. By integrating part-of-speech tagging and lexical semantic tagging in a profiling tool, the Matrix technique extends the keywords procedure to produce key grammatical categories and key concepts. It has been shown to be applicable in the comparison of UK 2001 general election manifestos of the Labour and Liberal Democratic parties, vocabulary studies in sociolinguistics, studies of language learners, information extraction and content analysis. Currently, it has been tested on restricted levels of annotation and only on English language data. |
