On-line Resources

Being computationally oriented, the field of NLP is replete with on-line resources of many types. A few are listed here, each leading to many other resources. A search using google.com will reveal many more. alltheweb.com also appears to use an algorithm that gives excellent rankings, as does google.

• The Computing Research Repository (CoRR) is the best source for online versions of many papers and reports on NLP. As an example, a search on "term extraction" retrieved eight articles with full text on line. The site entry page is here.



• The web site of the Association of Computational Linguistics (ACL) is an excellent starting point.



• A major site related to the ACL is The ACL NLP/CL Universe which has over 4200 links (!) to a wide variety of NLP-related material.



• Here are the Stuttgart resources lists.



• Here is the Stanford Meta-Index on linguistics and computational linguistics.



• This is an annotated list of resources for statistical natural language processing and corpus-based computational linguistics, also at Stanford.



• Mike Barlow has large set of useful links on corpus linguistics including Word lists and Stop lists, Software for Text analysis and Taggers, Online papers, theses, etc. related to CL, Courses in Corpus Linguistics and a Bibliography



• An extensive Linguistics Glossary is maintained by SIL. They state: "This is a glossary of terms used in the morphological, syntactic, and pragmatic analysis of text. It does not necessarily include terms specific to particular theoretical models (e.g. tagmeme). The glossary was compiled by the International Linguistics Department of the Summer Institute of Linguistics (Dallas, TX)."



• This is a an older bibliography (ending in 2000) -- "A (Partial) Bibliography (in Chronological Order) of MEDICAL NATURAL-LANGUAGE PROCESSING OF FREE TEXT Compiled by: William J. Rapaport", SUNY Buffalo. The medical area is of course closely related to biology on many fronts, so work in that area is of potential interest.

Beyond the list above, searching on your own will find links to many university NLP research groups around the world, many in Europe. One of them may be near you!
