  Description     : tagger and parser for Dutch language

 Memory-Based Learning (MBL) is a machine-learning method applicable to a wide
 range of tasks in Natural Language Processing (NLP).
 .
 Frog is a modular system integrating a morphosyntactic tagger, lemmatizer,
 morphological analyzer, and dependency parser for the Dutch language.  It is
 based upon it's predecessor TADPOLE (TAgger, Dependency Parser, and
 mOrphoLogical analyzEr).  Using Memory-Based Learning techniques, Tadpole
 tokenizes, tags, lemmatizes, and morphologically segments word tokens in
 incoming Dutch UTF-8 text files, and assigns a dependency graph to each
 sentence.  Tadpole is particularly targeted at the increasing need for fast,
 automatic NLP systems applicable to very large (multi-million to billion word)
 document collections that are becoming available due to the progressive
 digitization of both new and old textual data.
 .
 Frog is a product of the ILK (Induction of Linguistic Knowledge) research
 group of the Tilburg University and the CNTS research group of the University
 of Antwerp.
 .
 If you do scientific research in NLP, Frog will likely be of use to you.

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

Frog depends upon the TiMBL, TimblServer, and Mbt software packages.  These are
available from

 deb http://apt.ticc.uvt.nl lenny main
 deb-src http://apt.ticc.uvt.nl lenny main

.  ITP's for these packages are planned.  Frog has not yet been publically
released (Tadpole has, see

Bye,

Joost
