Welcome to UTT - UAM Text Tools

What is UTT?

UTT is a package of language processing tools developed at ​Adam Mickiewicz University. Its functionality includes:

• tokenization
• dictionary-based morphological analysis
• heuristic morphological analysis of unknown words
• spelling correction
• pattern search
• sentence splitting
• generation of concordance tables

The toolkit is destined for processing of raw (not annotated) unrestricted text for any conceivable purpose.

The system is organized as a collection of command-line programs, each performing one operation, e.g. tokenization, lemmatization, spelling correction. The components are independent one from another, the unifying element being the uniform i/o file format.

The components may be combined in various ways to provide various text processing services. Also new components supplied by the used may be easily incorporated into the system provided that they respect the i/o file format conventions.

UTT component programs does not depend on any specific tagset or morphological description format.
