An Example of a Compatible NLP Toolkit

摘要

The paper describes an open-source set of linguistic tools, whose distinctive features are its customisability and compatibility with other NLP toolkits: texts in various natural languages and character encodings may be read from a number of popular data formats; all annotation tools may be run with several options to differentiate the format of input and output; rule lists used by individual tools may be supplemented or replaced by the user; external tools (including NLP tools designed in independent research centres) may be incorporated into the toolkit's environment.
