Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libfrog-dev on Ubuntu 22.04.
What is libfrog-dev
libfrog-dev is:
Memory-Based Learning (MBL) is a machine-learning method applicable to a wide
range of tasks in Natural Language Processing (NLP).
Frog is a modular system integrating a morphosyntactic tagger, lemmatizer,
morphological analyzer, and dependency parser for natural languages. It is
based upon it’s predecessor TADPOLE (TAgger, Dependency Parser, and
mOrphoLogical analyzEr). Using Memory-Based Learning techniques, frog
tokenizes, tags, lemmatizes, and morphologically segments word tokens in
incoming UTF-8 text files, and assigns a dependency graph to each sentence.
Frog is particularly targeted at the increasing need for fast, automatic NLP
systems applicable to very large (multi-million to billion word) document
collections that are becoming available due to the progressive digitization of
both new and old textual data. Up to now, frog has only been tested and used
using corpora of Dutch natural language (see the frogdata package for samples).
Frog is a product of the Centre of Language and Speech Technology at
Radboud University Nijmegen, it subsumes previous work by the
ILK Research Group (Tilburg University, The Netherlands) and
the CLiPS Research Centre (University of Antwerp, Belgium).
This package containers the headers needed to compile against Frog.
