A Flexible Language Acquisition Tool Kit for Natural Language Processing
Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2004)
Abstract
The paper describes a Flexible Language Acquisition Tool (FLAT) kit, - a suite of multipurpose interactive tools for developing NLP systems and/or training computational linguists. The kit facilitates the use of linguistic expertise in developing NLP applications and allows for maintaining and improving a system output without extra programming effort. It can be used for any language based on ANSI character set without reengineering and has an element providing for its integration in any NLP application, thus dramatically reducing the complexity and costs of development process.
