About NooJ
NooJ is used as a corpus processing system in the Digital Humanities as it allows researchers in the Humanities and in Social sciences to apply sophisticated queries to large corpora in real time, in order to construct indices and concordances, annotate texts automatically and perform statistical analyses, etc.
NooJ provides linguists with tools to formalize any natural language by developing linguistic resources in the form of electronic dictionaries (for simple words, intraword units, multiword units and discontiguous expressions) and grammars (regular, context-free, context-sensitive and unrestricted grammars) to formalize orthographical, morphological, syntactic and semantic phenomena.
NooJ’s linguistic engine has been inserted into a large number of Natural Language Processing sofware applications such as automatic semantic annotators, Named Entities Recognizers, Information extractors, Paraphrase and RDF to Text Generators, Business Intelligence, Machine Translation, etc.
NooJ is a free, open source software promoted by the METASHARE European programme and protected by a GPL license. It runs on Windows Operating System (.NET framework) and on Macos, LINUX and UNIX Operating Systems (JAVA Virtual Machine).
There are over 20 linguistic modules that can already be freely downloaded for NooJ, as well as its manual, references, video tutorials in Arabic, Belarusian, Croatian, English, French, Italian, Indonesian and Spanish.
To learn more about NooJ, download the software and its manual as well as linguistic resources for over 30 languages, click here.
Objectives of the scientific event
- Give NooJ users and researchers in Linguistics and in Computational Linguistics the opportunity to meet and share their experiences as developers, researchers, and teachers.
- Present to NooJ users the latest linguistic resources and NLP applications developed for/with NooJ, its latest functionalities, as well as its future developments.
- Offer researchers and graduate students two tutorials (one basic and one advanced) to help them parse corpora and build NLP applications using NooJ.
- Provide the occasion to present and discover the recent developments of NooJ itself (v7).
