Proofing Tools Technology at Neurosoft S.A.

The aim of this paper is to present the R&D activities carried out at Neurosoft S.A. regarding the development of proofing tools for Modern Greek. Firstly, we focus on infrastructure issues that we faced during our initial steps. Subsequently, we describe the most important insights of three proofing tools developed by Neurosoft, i.e. the spelling checker, the hyphenator and the thesaurus, outlining their efficiencies and inefficiencies. Finally, we discuss some improvement ideas and give our future directions.

An electronic dictionary as a basis for NLP tools: The Greek case

The existence of a Dictionary in electronic form for Modern Greek (MG) is mandatory if one is to process MG at the morphological and syntactic levels since MG is a highly inflectional language with marked stress and a spelling system with many characteristics carried over from Ancient Greek. Moreover, such a tool becomes necessary if one is to create efficient and sophisticated NLP applications with substantial linguistic backing and coverage. The present paper will focus on the deployment of such an electronic dictionary for Modern Greek, which was built in two phases: first it was constructed to be the basis for a spelling correction schema and then it was reconstructed in order to become the platform for the deployment of a wider spectrum of NLP tools.
