LinguaKit: a multilingual tool for linguistic analysis and information extraction
Abstract
This paper presents LinguaKit, a multilingual suite of tools for analysis, extraction, annotation and linguistic correction. LinguaKit allows the user to perform different tasks such as lemmatization, PoS-tagging or syntactic parsing (among others), including applications for sentiment analysis (or opinion mining), extraction of multiword expressions or conceptual annotation and entity linking to DBpedia. Most part of the developed modules work in four linguistic varieties: Portuguese, Spanish, English, and Galician. The system is programmed in Perl, and it is freely available under a GPLv3 license.
