style="font-size: 14px; ">NooJ is a linguistic development
environment that allows linguists to formalize several
levels of linguistic phenomena :</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px; ">typography and spelling
;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px; ">lexicons of simple
words, multiword units and discontinuous expressions ;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px; ">inflectional,
derivational and productive morphology ;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px; ">local and structural
syntax ;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px; ">transformational and
semantic analysis and generation.</span></li>
</ul>
<p style="color: rgb(81, 81, 81); text-align: left;
background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); " class="Body"><span
style="font-size: 14px; "><br>
For each of these levels NooJ provides linguists with one
or more formal tools specifically designed to facilitate
the description of each phenomenon, as well as
parsing/development/debugging tools designed to be as
computationally efficient as possible, from Finite-State
to Turing machines. This approach distinguishes NooJ from
other computational linguistic frameworks which provide a
unique formalism.<br>
<br>
As a corpus processing tool, NooJ allows researchers in
various social sciences to extract information from
corpora by applying sophisticated queries based on
concepts rather than word forms and build indices and
concordances, add semantic annotations, perform
statistical analyses on concepts, etc.<br>
<br>
The conference intends to:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px; ">give NooJ users and
researchers in Linguistics and in Computational
Linguistics the opportunity to meet and share their
experience as developers, researchers and teachers ;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px; ">present to NooJ users
the latest linguistic resources and NLP applications
developed for/with NooJ, its latest functionalities, as
well as its future developments ;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px; ">offer researchers and
graduate students two tutorials (one basic and one
advanced) to help them parse corpora and build NLP
applications using NooJ.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px; ">provide the occasion to
present and discover the recent developments of NooJ
itself (v3).</span></li>
</ul>
