  • Fast and easy development of pronunciation lexicons for names

    The AUTONOMATA transcription tool set consists of a transcription tool and learning tools, with which one can enrich word lists with precise information on the pronunciation. Thee uses a general grapheme-to-phoneme converter (the g2p-converter).
    This STEVIN project is about the investigation of new pronunciation modeling technologies that can improve the automatic recognition of spoken names in the context of a POI (Point-of-Interest) information providing business service. Collaboration with RU (Nijmegen), UiL (Utrecht), Nuance and TeleAtlas.
    De AUTONOMATA-transcriptietoolset bestaat uit een transcriptietool en learning tools, waarmee men woordenlijsten kan verrijken met nauwkeurige uitspraakinformatie. De tool maakt gebruik van een algemene grafeem-naar-foneemomzetter (de g2p-omzetter).

  • Namescape Named Entity Recognition

    Searching and visualizing Named Entities in modern Dutch novels. The named entity (NE) tagging and resolution in NameScape enables quantitative and repeatable research where previously only guesswork and anecdotal evidence was feasible. The visualisation module enables researchers with a less technical background to draw conclusions about functions of names in literary work and help them to explore the material in search of more interesting questions (and answers). Users from other communities (sociolinguistics, sentiment analysis, …) also benefit from the NE tagged data, especially since the NE recognizer is available as a web service, enabling researchers to annotate their own research data. Datasets in NameScape (total of 1.129 books): Corpus Sanders: A corpus of 582 Dutch novels written and published between 1970 and 2009 will. Corpus Huygens: Consists of 22 novels manually tagged with detailed named entity information. IPR for this corpus do not allow distribution. Corpus eBooks: Consists of 7000+ Dutch eBooks tagged automatically with basic NER features and person name Part information. IPR for this corpus do not allow distribution. Corpus SoNaR Books: 105 Dutch books; NE tagged. Corpus Gutenberg Dutch: Consists of 530 NE tagged TEI files converted from the Epub versions of the corresponding Gutenberg documents. Recent research has conclusively proven names in literary works can only be put fully into perspective when studied in a wider context (landscape) of names either in the same text or in related material (the onymic landscape or “namescape”). Research on large corpora is needed to gain a better understanding of e.g. what is characteristic for a certain period, genre, author or cultural region. The data necessary for research on this scale simply does not exist yet. NameScape aims to fill the need by providing a substantial amount of literary works annotated with a rich tag set, thereby enabling researchers to perform their research in more depth than previously possible. Several exploratory visualization tools help the scholar to answer old questions and uncover many more new ones, which can be addressed using the demonstrator.

  • Usage

    The system here allows you to convert your book pages' images into editable text, presented in a particular text format called XML (eXtended Markup Language) of a particular type called Text-Encoding Initiative or TEI XML. This particular format was developed specifically for being able to mark-up or annotate the text you want to work on, i.e. to add all manner of further information to the actual text, e.g. to build a critical edition of it, which is most likely exactly what you want to do with your author's work.

  • VU University Diachronic News text Corpus

    The diachronic corpus has been brought in line with current standards and formats as used in the STEVIN Nederlandstalig Referentiecorpus (SoNaR, under development), which has been adapted to the more general FoLiA format (documented by Van Gompel, 2012). These standards and formats have been extended with new layers of annotation. As a result the corpus adheres to the current day CLARIN infrastructure.

  • OpenSONAR: a 500 MW reference corpus of Contemporary Written Dutch

    SoNaR is a 500-million-word reference corpus of contemporary written Dutch for use in different types of linguistic (incl. lexicographic) and HLT research and the development of applications. The STEVIN funded SoNaR project (2008-2011) built on the results obtained in the D-Coi and Corea projects which were awarded funding in the first call of proposals within the STEVIN programme. SONAR contains over 500 million words (i.e. word tokens) of full texts from a wide variety of text types including both texts from conventional media and texts from the new media. All texts except for texts from the social media (Twitter, Chat, SMS) have been tokenized, tagged for part of speech and lemmatized, while in the same set the Named Entities have been labelled. All annotations were produced automatically, no manual verification took place. The texts are enriched with several annotations (Part of Speech and lemma information) and are available as FoLiA xml files (folia.xml). The system relies on BlackLab server as back-end and WhiteLab as user-interface. OpenSONAR is an online application for exploration of and searching in the SoNaR corpus.

  • Taalportaal, the linguistics of Dutch, Frisian and Afrikaans online.

    Taalportaal (or Language Portal) is an interactive knowledge base about Dutch, Frisian and Afrikaans. It provides access to a comprehensive and authoritative scientific grammar for these three languages.

  • Dupira; the Dutch Parser for IR Applications

    Dupira is a rule-based parser, generated by means of the AGFL parser generator from the Dupira grammar, lexicon and fact tables. By means of transductions which are specified in the grammar (and can be modified), the parser transduces sentences to dependency graphs. Dupira was developed for practical applications in Information Retrieval and for Information Systems needing a Natural Language interface. Its intended users are computer scientists and computer professionals rather than linguists.
