[Corpora-List] GATE Processing Resources for Dutch

[G.J.M.Noord, van]

Ivelina,


never trust a tool that does "all .. that you require".


If you need a parser for Dutch, use Alpino. Why bother with
a POS-tagger or a chunker if you can get a full syntactic analysis
of all the words and phrases of your input?


In fact, the dependency analysis of Frog is trained on the output
of Alpino. The accuracy of Frog for labeled dependencies is reported
to be 76%.  The accuracy of Alpino for labeled dependencies is
over 90%.


So much for "de facto state-of-the-art tool for Dutch".

and, no, neither Frog nor Alpino is ready for Gate afaik...

There's not much specifically for Dutch that comes already with GATE, but there are possibilities for adaptation of some of the existing GATE resources (and we've dabbled ourselves in a few bits and bobs). You'll most likely get better answers to the adaptation issue on the gate-users mailing list, which I see you've already contacted anyway.
