Linguistics Meets Linux: A Review of Morphix-NLP

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the natural-linux-processing dept.

Emre Sevinc writes "Zhang Le, a Chinese scientist working on Natural Language Processing has decided to pack the most important language analysis and processing applications into a single bootable CD: Morphix-NLP. More than 640 MB of NLP specific software is included and there's still a lot of place on the CD which uses a compressed filesystem for bringing us the best of both worlds."

    Actually, I saw someone working on something like parsing english as a programming language, try a Google for 'controlled english' sometime. The general idea is that management may not be able to write the specifications, but they can read them and tell you it isn't what they're really after _before_ you code the thing.

    If you want to play the typical stereotype... please at least get it right.

    It's the Japanese who has problems pronouncing L's... and the Chinese have problems pronouncing R's.

    The Westerners on the other hand, can pronounce almost anything, but will never ever get facts right :)
