Lausanne: A Framework for Collaborative Online NLP Experiments

  • Conference paper
Computational Processing of the Portuguese Language (PROPOR 2014)

Abstract

This paper introduces Lausanne - a tool for collaborative online NLP experiments. Lausanne has been successfully applied to the implementation of a practical experiment to collect human-produced natural language descriptions, and it is freely available for research purposes.
