FORMA is a probabilistic tool for morphological tagging and lemmatization of text. The purpose of this tool is to obtain annotated text to be processed by other NLP tools (see Gonzalez et al., 2006).

The present tool, that was built to deal with Portuguese-specific issues concerning a few non-trivial cases that involve tokenization-ambigous strings, segments text into lexically relevant tokens, using whitespace as the separator. Note that, in these examples, the | (vertical bar) symbol is use...

The present tool, that was built to deal with Portuguese-specific issues concerning syntactic categorization, assigns a single morpho-syntactic tag, from the tagset below, to every token. The tag is attached to the token, using a / (slash) symbol as separator: um exemplo → um/IA exemplo/CN ...

MaltParser is a system for data-driven dependency parsing, which can be used to induce a parsing model from treebank data and to parse new data using an induced model. MaltParser is developed by Johan Hall, Jens Nilsson and Joakim Nivre at Växjö University and Uppsala University, Sweden (see Nivr...

MBT is a memory-based tagger-generator and tagger in one. The tagger-generator part can generate a sequence tagger on the basis of a training set of tagged sequences; the tagger part can tag new sequences. MBT can, for instance, be used to generate part-of-speech taggers or chunkers for natural l...

YamCha is a generic, customizable, and open source text chunker oriented toward a lot of NLP tasks, such as POS tagging, Named Entity Recognition, base NP chunking, and Text Chunking. We used it for NP chunking.

The OntoLP system is a plug-in for the construction environment of the ontologies Protégé. The plug-in intents to be an assistant for the engineer of ontologies for Portuguese during the execution of initial steps concerning the ontologies construction: extraction of terms which are candidates fo...
