Dear Irina,
I answer quite late but, you may try the openFST, made by former 
creators of the AT&T's FSM.
http://www.openfst.org
It is open source and written in C++

Cheers,

Christophe

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

CADS International Conference
Corpus-assisted Discourse Studies:More than the sum of Discourse Analysis and computing?

University of Bologna,13-14 September 2012
Conference website: http://www3.lingue.unibo.it/blog/clb/?p=287 

 Featured speakers include: Michael Hoey (Liverpool), Paul Baker (Lancaster), Tony McEnery (Lancaster), Ramesh Krishnamurthy (Aston), Costas Gabrielatos (Lancaster), Alan Partington (Bologna)

The term corpus-assisted discourse studies (CADS) was coined ten years 
ago. Although such research dates back at least to Biber (1988) and 
Stubbs (1996), it was in those days still possible to lament: In 
comparison with the impressive strides corpus linguistics has made in 
the fields of lexicography, grammatical description, register studies 
etc, it has had relatively little to say in describing features of 
discourse, particularly of interaction, that is, the rhetorical aspects 
of texts. 
This is clearly no longer the case. In these ten years CADS has come of 
age with major projects under its belt on, among others, the reporting 
of immigration, reporting the Iraq conflict, White House press relations and perceptions of the EU. Language topics studied include evaluation, 
discourse organisation, facework/politeness, metaphor, irony, 
stylistics, diachronic linguistics, and many more. 
But new questions have arisen. Is CADS a coherent discipline? What are 
its methods? What are the overall objectives of CADS research(ers)? Has 
its focus altered over the years and is it likely to alter in the 
future? And, of course: is it more than just the sum of discourse 
analysis and computing? If so, what is its added value? 
We invite speakers to share their own experiences of using corpus 
techniques to shed light on discourse and to debate these fundamental 
questions
Talks will be 20 minutes with 10 minutes for questions.

Subject: [Corpora-List] !! SHORT PAPER DEADLINE EXTENSION !! SEMANTIC
    TRACK OF ACL 2012 SP-SEM-MRL Workshop
To: Corpora Mailing List <corpora at uib.no>

!! SHORT PAPER DEADLINE EXTENSION !!  SEMANTIC TRACK OF ACL 2012
SP-SEM-MRL Workshop
==================================================================================

Due to multiple requests, the semantic track short paper deadline of
the ACL 2012 SP-SEM-MRL workshop is now extended to Saturday, April
28, 11:59pm PST (UTC/GMT -8 hours).

Authors who wish to take advantage of this extension for new
submissions are requested to submit an abstract draft by Tuesday
(April 23), to help us assign reviewers in this tight schedule. The
abstract should be extended to a short paper format by April 28. All
semantic processing track short paper submissions -- both previously
submitted short and newly submitted abstracts -- may be updated and
resubmitted online until the new extended deadline (April 28).

Note: Syntactic parsing  track short paper deadline has NOT changed
(it is tomorrow, April 22). This extension is due to overlap with *SEM
notification deadline and other events, and in order to encourage
submission for the newly introduced track of semantic processing of
MRL, so we can have a broader coverage for this emerging important
topic.
No additional extensions will be given under any circumstances.

For CFP and other details, go to   https://sites.google.com/site/spsemmrl2012
Submission: in PDF format via the START system:
https://www.softconf.com/acl2012/sp-sem-mrl-2012

On behalf of the Organizing Committee,
ACL 2012 Joint Workshop on Statistical Parsing and Semantic Processing
of Morphologically Rich Languages (SP-Sem-MRL 2012)

Subject: [Corpora-List] CFP: Text Summarization of the Future -
    Workshop at    SEPLN 2012 (Spain)
To: corpora at uib.no

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1st Workshop on Automatic Text Summarization of the Future

*** Satellite workshop to SEPLN 2012 (Castellón, Spain)***

http://www.taln.upf.edu/pages/sepln_ws_2012/

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to the great proliferation of online documents and information, it
becomes necessary to develop automatic tools capable of filtering
redundant and irrelevant information, thus presenting the most
important one in an efficient and effective manner.
This is the goal of Automatic Summarization, which aims at producing a
concise document, keeping the essential information of a
document or set of documents.

Research into Automatic Summarization began in the 50s with the
purpose of summarizing scientific texts. However, the interest for
this
type of documents decreased, while the interest in news article
summarization grew. Recently, new challenges have appeared in this
research area.
In the context of the Internet, not only is information being
constantly updated, but there is also a lack of quality control of
what
is being published on the Web. Social networks, blogs, reviews, etc.
are non-traditional texts of informal nature, and they therefore
constitute a big challenge for the new generation of summaries.

High quality documentation such as technical/scientific articles and
patents has not received in the past years all the attention that the
field deserves.
However, given the explosion of technical documentation available on
the Web and in intranets, scientific and research and development
institutions face a true scientific information deluge. Therefore,
summarization should be a key instrument not only for reducing
information content
in this field but also for measuring information relevance in context,
providing users with adequate answers in context.

Another challenge for automatic summarization is the generation of
abstracts, where it is necessary to take into consideration
 natural language generation techniques and be able to adapt them from
one domain to another. In addition to these, efforts are
needed to produce summaries in languages other than English and in
multiple languages.

Therefore, the main goal of the 1st Workshop on Automatic Text
Summarization of the Future is to bring together researchers working
on Automatic Summarization, encouraging research into little explored
areas such as new textual gentres as well as old, forgotten ones, or
summarization
in languages other than English (for instance, Spanish).
