LG-Starship: A Framework for Text Analysis

In this work we present a new framework for the analysis of Italian texts that could help linguists to perform rapid text analysis. The framework, that performs both statistical and rule-based analysis, is called LG-Starship. The idea is to built a modular software that includes the basic algorithms to perform different kinds of analysis. The framework will include a Preprocessing Module a POS Tagging and Lemmatization module, a Statistic Module, a Semantic Module based on Distributional Analysis algorithms, and a Syntactic Module, which analyze syntax structures of a selected sentence and tag the verbs and its arguments with semantic labels. The objective of the Framework is to build an “all-in-one” platform for NLP which allows any kind of users to perform basic and advanced text analysis.
