PyNLPl
editrevisions

Python Natural Language Processing Library(pronounced as: pineapple) is a Python library for Natural Language Processing. It is a collection
of various independent or loosely interdependent modules useful for common, and less common, NLP tasks. PyNLPl can be used for example the computation of n-grams, frequency lists and distributions, language models. There are also more complex data types, such
as Priority Queues, and search algorithms, such as Beam Search
Installation:
#Linux
sudo apt-get install pymol

# Fedora

yum install pymol

MontyLingua
editrevisions

MontyLingua is a free, commonsense-enriched, end-to-end natural language understander for English. Feed raw English text into MontyLingua, and the output will be a semantic interpretation of that
text. Perfect for information retrieval and extraction, request processing, and question answering. From English sentences, it extracts subject/verb/object tuples, extracts adjectives, noun phrases and verb phrases, and extracts people's names, places, events,
dates and times, and other semantic information

Quepy
editrevisions

Quepy is a python framework to transform natural language questions to queries in a database query language. It can be easily customized to different kinds of questions in natural language and database queries. So, with little coding you can build your own
system for natural language access to your database.
