A declarative language for generating customized text processing and tagging applications

Abstract

This paper presents the preliminary results of the design and implementation of a declarative language that will allow linguists and researchers in the Natural Language Pro- cessing field to generate customized text processing and tagging applications without having to learn how to code or require a computer scientist. The language will allow the orchestration of different functions and transformations that are commonly used when dealing with text in the context of Natural Language Processing and its fields, such as Sentiment Analysis and Infor- mation Retrieval. The language compiler will generate a ready to use Java application implementing the user defined flow.
