NLP++ is a computer programming language for natural language processing created by Amnon Meyers and David de Hilster in 1998. It operates on an input text via multiple passes that elaborate a best-first parse tree. It can access and update a hierarchical knowledge base management system (KBMS).[1] NLP++ is deployed with an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which supports development of text analyzers. NLP++ is one of the only computer language exclusively dedicated to natural language processing.

Overview

[edit]

NLP++ is a computer language dedicated to building natural language text analyzers. It allows programmers to capture and apply linguistic and world knowledge, emulating processes by which humans read and understand text.[2] NLP++ combines bottom up, island-driven, recursive grammar, and other methods in a multi-pass architecture that operates on one parse tree. It works with a hierarchical knowledge base (KB), called Conceptual Grammar (CG), to dynamically build and use stored knowledge in analyzing text. Applications range from simply syntactic processing to full natural language understanding.[3][4] VisualText[5] is a developer's environment that exploits NLP++and GC to rapidly elaborate text analyzers. Passes and KBs from one analyzer may be exploited to more rapidly construct and tailor new text analyzers.

NLP++

[edit]

NLP++ is a computer language that takes text, breaks it down into tokens, builds up those tokens into syntactic trees, and builds and uses knowledge stored in Conceptual Grammar. The language includes functions, rules, operators, and variables specific to its internal representations of text and knowledge. NLP++ comprises general C or C++-like programming language constructs, as well as integrally addressing rule matches and the associated knowledge base.

History

[edit]

The roots of NLP++ come from its two creators, Amnon Meyers and David de Hilster who are computer programmers working in the area of natural language processing since the early 1980s.

For the two decades, the technology was privately owned[6][7] and was licensed by private companies to process medial, social media, historical documents, and real estate text.[8]

In December 2018, NLP++ and VisualText became open source.[9]
