It has specific -support for many natural language processing applications such as producing -morphological analyzers. Although NLP applications are probably the main use -of foma, it is sufficiently generic to use for a large number of purposes. - -The foma interface is similar to the Xerox xfst interface, and supports -most of the commands and the regular expression syntax in xfst. -Many grammars written for xfst compile out-of-the-box with foma. - -The library contains efficient implementations of all classical -automata/transducer algorithms: determinization, minimization, epsilon-removal, -composition, boolean operations. Also, more advanced construction methods -are available: context restriction, quotients, first-order regular logic, -transducers from replacement rules, etc. - -WWW: https://code.google.com/p/foma/ |
