University in collaboration with the "Semio-linguistic, the Didactic
and computer science Laboratory", Franche-Comté University and the
"Maison des Sciences de l'Homme Claude Ledoux". 

NOOJ 2009 will be held in Tozeur city-Tunisia, 450 Km in the south-west of Tunis . 


The conference intends to: 

  - give NooJ users and researchers in Linguistics and in
  Computational Linguistics the opportunity to meet and share their
  experience as developers, researchers and teachers; 

  - present to NooJ users the latest linguistic resources and NLP
  applications developed for/with NooJ, its latest functionalities,
  as well as its future developments; 

  - offer researchers and graduate students two tutorials (one basic
  and one advanced) to help them parse corpora and build NLP
  applications using NooJ. 

  - Present NooJ's Arabic resources to all researchers in Arabic
  studies : linguists, computational linguists as well as all
  researchers who work with/on Arabic corpora. 

NooJ is a freeware, linguistic engineering development environment
used to formalize various types of textual phenomena (orthography,
lexical and productive morphology, local, structural and
transformational syntax) using a large gamut of computational devices
(from Finite-State Automata to Augmented Recursive Transition
Networks). NooJ includes tools to construct, test, debug, maintain and
accumulate large sets of linguistic resources, and can apply them to
large texts. 

Modules for a dozen languages are already available for free download:
Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, English, French,
Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish. A dozen of
other modules are under construction.
