Foma is a compiler, programming language, and C library for constructing
|
|
finite-state automata and transducers for various uses. It has specific
|
|
support for many natural language processing applications such as producing
|
|
morphological analyzers. Although NLP applications are probably the main use
|
|
of foma, it is sufficiently generic to use for a large number of purposes.
|
|
|
|
The foma interface is similar to the Xerox xfst interface, and supports
|
|
most of the commands and the regular expression syntax in xfst.
|
|
Many grammars written for xfst compile out-of-the-box with foma.
|
|
|
|
The library contains efficient implementations of all classical
|
|
automata/transducer algorithms: determinization, minimization, epsilon-removal,
|
|
composition, boolean operations. Also, more advanced construction methods
|
|
are available: context restriction, quotients, first-order regular logic,
|
|
transducers from replacement rules, etc.
