We are pleased to announce the first release of FreeLing.<br>
<br>
FreeLing is an open-source C++ library providing language <br>
analysis services (such as morfological analysis, date recognition,<br>
PoS tagging, etc.). The sofwtare is released under LGPL.<br>
<br>
FreeLing has been developed a the TALP Research Center in<br>
Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (<a
href="http://www.lsi.upc.es/%7Enlp" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">http://www.lsi.upc.es/~nlp</a>).<br>
The linguistic data included in the package has been coded by<br>
Centre de Llenguatge i Computació in Universitat de Barcelona<br>
(<a href="http://clic.fil.ub.es" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">http://clic.fil.ub.es</a>)<br>
<br>
The current version (1.0) of the package provides tokenizing, sentence<br>
splitting, morphological analysis, NE detection, date/number/currency<br>
recognition and PoS tagging. Future versions will improve performance<br>
in existing functionalities, as well as incorporate new features, such<br>
as chuncking, NE classification, document classification, etc.<br>
<br>
FreeLing is designed to be used as an external library from any<br>
application requiring this kind of services. Nevertheless, a simple<br>
main program is also provided as a basic interface to the library,<br>
which enables the user to analyze text files from the command line.<br>
