Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
We are glad to announce the release of FreeLing 2.0.<br>
(info and downloads at <a
href="http://www.lsi.upc.es/%7Enlp/freeling">http://www.lsi.upc.es/~nlp/freeling</a>)<br>
<p> FreeLing is an open-source (GPL) library providing language
analysis services for different languages (currently Spanish, Catalan,
Galician, Italian, and English).</p>
<p> Services provided by the libraryinclude:Text tokenization,
Sentence splitting, Morphological analysis, Suffix treatment,
retokenization of clitic pronouns, Flexible multiword recognition,
Contraction splitting, Probabilistic prediction of unkown word
categories, Named entity detection, Recognition of dates, numbers,
ratios, currency, and physical magnitudes (speed, weight, temperature,
density, etc), PoS tagging, Chart-based shallow parsing, Named entity
classification, WordNet based sense annotation, Rule-based dependency
parsing.</p>
<p></p>
<p> FreeLing is designed to be used as an external library from any
application requiring this kind of services. Nevertheless, a simple
main program is also provided as a basic interface to the library,
which enables the user to analyze text files from the command line.</p>
Main improvements in version 2.0 are:<br>
* Larger Spanish dictionary (thanks to the <a
href="http://www.upf.edu/pdi/iula/montserrat.marimon/srg.html">Spanish
Resource Grammar</a> project) <br>
* Debugged English dictionary<br>
* More WN-based semantic information access<br>
* More expressive rule language for dependency parsing<br>
* Machine Learning functionalites moved to external <a
href="http://www.lsi.upc.edu/%7Enlp/omlet+fries">omlet+fries</a>
library, for clearer organization<br>
* Suport for 64-bit processors<br>
* Extended Java API<br>
