GATE

• The General Architecture for Text Engineering
• I'm going to talk about a lot of technologies and applications, but there are a lot of existing resources out there.
• GATE is open source software.
• It enables different components to be wrapped together to provide a complete application.
• Some simple ones work right out of the box, but it gets more interesting when you combine them in unique ways.
• It also has a lot of textual data available.
• If you want to build an application, this is a reasonable way to start on it.
• I worked on this at the University of Sheffield when I first came to Britain.
