Specialist Natural Language Processing
Allen Browne, Guy Divita
2005-12-20
This presentation describes the SPECIALIST lexicon, lexical tools and natural language processing (NLP) tools produced by the Lexical Systems Group. The SPECIALIST lexicon is a large syntactic lexicon of biomedical and general English, designed to provide the information needed for text analysis and natural language processing. The lexical tools exploit the lexicon to help users deal with lexical variation. The NLP tools build on the the lexicon and lexical tools to facilitate analysis of natural language texts. These tools provide the foundation of NLP work done at the Lister Hill Center and are freely available to outside researchers.
