Introduction

The FreeLing package consists of a library providing language analysis services (such as morphological analysis, date recognition, PoS tagging, etc.)

The current version provides tokenizing, sentence splitting, morphological analysis, NE detection and classification, recognition of dates/numbers/physical magnitudes/currency/ratios, PoS tagging, shallow parsing, dependency parsing, WN-based sense annotation, and coreference resolution. Future versions are expected to improve performance in existing functionalities, as well as incorporate new features, such as word sense disambiguation, document classification, etc.

FreeLing is designed to be used as an external library from any application requiring this kind of services. Nevertheless, a simple main program is also provided as a basic interface to the library, which enables the user to analyze text files from the command line.
