[Corpora-List] Software Announcement: QTag 3.1

[oliver at ccl.bham.ac.uk]

Hello,

I'm pleased to announce the release of QTag 3.1, the latest version of my
language-independent portable part-of-speech tagger.  This release has two
main new features:

    * the possibility to access all tags assigned to a token, with
      their respective probabilities (instead of just the highest
      scoring tag).
    * the inclusion of an extra program which allows the creation of
      resource files for new languages/tagsets from pre-tagged training
      data.

Resource files for English and German (the latter based on just 25K words,
so it might not be very precise) are available for download; donations of
resource files for other languages are gratefully received.

The address for downloading QTag is
