   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.
