FreeLing 3.1

An Open Source Suite of Language Analyzers

The FreeLing project was created and is currently leaded by Lluís Padró as a means to make available to the community the results of the research carried out at the UPC natural language research group.

What's new in FreeLing 3.1:

• FreeLing 3.1 is thread-safe, allowing parallel processing (e.g. in webservices).
• Extended API to analysis modules.
• Improved API to manage and navigate resulting linguistic structures.
• New functionalities to deal with non-standard text: SED-based search of dictionary words similar to given string, based on FOMA.
• Wrapped regular expression module that enables to choose between boost::regex and boost::xpressive as underlying engine.
• New languages: Up to PoS-tagging for French. Partial support for Czech and Slovenian.
• Simpler installation: Less external dependencies only from out-of-the-box libboost packages
• Easier compilation in MacOSX and Windows (with MSVC).

These tools are developed and maintained at TALP Research Center, in Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. They also benefit from many external contributions from a wide community.
