worldnet.att.net>I have read of an attempt to semantically and syntactically control English in order to make it more tractable for automatic machine translation into other languages. I understand Attempo Controlled English was a 1995 attempt by the computer science department of a Swiss university in Zurich. This is all I know about it. I want to know more about this particular experiment. Where should I search?Mail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue

mailbox.syr.edu>Hello, I am helping to prepare the syllabus for a Spring 2000 course in Natural Language Processing. We would like to have our students do some assignments involving online demos, so I have been trying to locate as many as possible. I have done some searching, and have found a number of tools that currently have online demos available, including the following: Name: COBUILD Direct Type: Concordance, Collocation Author: Cobuild, Department of English, University of Birmingham Demo URL: http://titania.cobuild.collins.co.uk/form.html Name: Conexor (EngCG2, EngLite, English FDG) Type: Morphological Analysis Tools Author: Conexor Demo URL (not functional at this time, should be in January): http://www.conexor.fi/testing.html Name: INTERARBORA Type: Diagrammer Author: Language Technology Group at the University of Edinburgh Demo URL 1: http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/~jo/interarbora/ Demo URL 2: http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/~jo/interarbora/general.html Name: LT CHUNK Type: Parser Author: Language Technology Group at the University of Edinburgh Demo URL (combined w/LT POS): http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/software/posdemo.html Name: LT POS Type: POS Tagger Author: Language Technology Group at the University of Edinburgh Demo URL (combined w/LT CHUNK): http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/software/posdemo.html Name: LT THISTLE Type: Diagrammer Author: Language Technology Group at the University of Edinburgh Demo URL: http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/software/thistle/demos/index.html Name: Q-Tag Type: POS Tagger (automated e-mail service) Author: Corpus Research Group at the University of Birmingham Demo URL: http://clg1.bham.ac.uk/tagger.html Name: RRECKTEK Verb alternation engine Type: Verb analysis based on Beth Levin's verb classes Author: RRECKTEK Demo URL: http://rreck.sealsoft.com/cgi-bin/levin.pl URL for Index to Beth Levin's Verb Classes: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jlawler/levin.html In my search for additional online demos, I have checked out the links from the following web pages, but found no additional online demos available (though I did find lots of tools available for download): 1) Natural Language Processing Tools -- http://www.aaai.org/Resources/Education/Repository-Mirror/nlp-tools.html 2) The Natural Language Software Registry -- http://www.dfki.de/lt/registry/ 3) Consortium for Lexical Research - Catalog of Tools -- http://crl.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/Tools/CLR/clrcat 4) Language Technology Group at Edinburgh http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/software/index.html 5) NLP Sites list -- contains pointers to tools as well as other resources -- http://cslp.comp.nus.edu.sg/CS6207/course/nlpres.html What have I missed? What other online demo tools are available? I would particularly like to find demos of stemmers, part of speech taggers and parsers, but would welcome any additional tools I can find. If you would be so kind as to inform me of the URL for any online demos (based on English) that I have missed, I would appreciate it very much. I will post a summary of responses to the list. - Thank you, Mary Taffet mdtaffetMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
