NooJ represents a linguistic development environment software, serving a dual purpose as both a linguistic development tool and a corpus processor. It proves invaluable to linguists for the creation of dictionaries, Regular Grammars, Context-Free Grammars, Context-Sensitive Grammars, and Unrestricted Grammars, alongside their graphical representations, facilitating the formalisation of diverse linguistic phenomena. NooJ's multi-layer framework empowers linguists to accumulate elementary descriptions spanning various linguistic strata.
Within the Digital Humanities domain, NooJ serves as a corpus processor, affording researchers in the Social sciences the capability to execute sophisticated queries on extensive corpora in real-time, conduct automated text annotation, and engage in diverse statistical analyses, among other functions.
NooJ's linguistic engine has seamlessly integrated into a variety of Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications, proficiently performing tasks such as automatic semantic annotation, Named Entity Recognition, Information extraction, Paraphrase Generation, Business Intelligence, Machine Translation, Web Semantics, and more.
Notably, NooJ stands as a freely available open-source software championed by the METASHARE European program. It is compatible with Windows (C# .NET), macOS, LINUX, and UNIX (Java). Furthermore, its enhanced engine and "RA" source code can be obtained from GitLab and are compatible with native execution on Windows, macOS, and LINUX environments.
For comprehensive insights into NooJ, access to the software and its accompanying manual, as well as access to reference materials and video tutorials, along with linguistic resources spanning 30 languages, are readily accessible resources for further exploration.
