Tools
The CLARIN centres offer a wide variety of applications to discover, explore, exploit, annotate, analyse or combine language data.
The list below gives an overview of the richness of these tools. Alternatively, if you have a specific file to be processed, the Language Resource Switchboard can help to select a matching tool interactively.
Language Resource Switchboard
![Language Resource Switchboard](/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/icon-services-switchboard.png?itok=uENfpQdS)
The Language Resource Switchboard can assist with finding the right language processing tool for your data. Upload a file, or enter a URL, and the switchboard will provide step-by-step guidance to have your data processed with a CLARIN tool.
Some example use cases:
- Performing distant reading analysis, constituency and dependency parsing on digitised pamphlets
- Applying stylometric analysis on a Polish parliamentary corpus
Tools Per Centre
ASV Leipzig
ASV Leipzig
ASV Toolbox is a modular collection of tools for the exploration of written language data. The topics covered contain language detection, POS-tagging, base form reduction, named entity recognition, and terminology extraction. On a more abstract level, the algorithms deal with various kinds of word similarity, using pattern based and statistical approaches. The collection can be used to work on large real world data sets as well as for studying the underlying algorithms.
