ITU Turkish NLP Web Service

Abstract

We present a natural language processing (NLP) platform, namely the “ITU Turkish NLP Web Service” by the natural language processing group of Istanbul Technical University. The platform (available at tools.nlp.itu.edu.tr) operates as a SaaS (Software as a Service) and provides the researchers and the students the state of the art NLP tools in many layers: preprocessing, morphology, syntax and entity recognition. The users may communicate with the platform via three channels: 1. via a user friendly web interface, 2. by file uploads and 3. by using the provided Web APIs within their own codes for constructing higher level applications.
