<br />
NooJ is a linguistic development environment that allows linguists
to formalize several levels of linguistic
phenomena:
<br />
<br />
• typography and
spelling;
<br />
• lexicons of simple words, multiword units and discontinuous
expressions;
<br />
• inflectional, derivational and agglutinative
morphology;
<br />
• local and structural
syntax;
<br />
• transformational syntax and paraphrase
generation;
<br />
• semantic analysis and machine
translation.
<br />
<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. The
integration
of all the linguistic levels in one compatible platform distinguishes
NooJ
from other computational linguistic frameworks which provide a
unique
formalism, incompatible with
others.
<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 and relations (rather than word forms) and
automatically
build concordances, add semantic annotations, and perform
statistical analyses. NooJ has been endorsed by the Meta-Share CESAR Project of
the
European Community, is now available as a JAVA open source package and
runs
under Windows LINUX and Mac OSX platforms. NooJ linguistic modules for over
20
languages are freely available at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nooj4nlp.net/">www.nooj4nlp.net</a>.
<br />
<br />
The NooJ conference intends
to:
<br />
<br />
• give NooJ users and researchers in Linguistics and in
Computational
Linguistics the opportunity to meet and share their experience as
developers, researchers and
teachers;
<br />
• present to NooJ users the latest linguistic resources and NLP
applications developed for/with NooJ, its latest functionalities, as well as its
future
developments;
<br />
• offer researchers and graduate students two tutorials (one basic and
one
advanced) to help them parse corpora and build NLP applications using
NooJ;
<br />
• provide the occasion to present and discover the recent developments of
NooJ
itself
(v3).
