Title	Open Resources and Tools for the Shallow Processing of Portuguese: The TagShare Project
Authors	F. Barreto, A. Branco, E. Ferreira, A. Mendes, M. Nascimento, F. Nunes, J. Silva
Abstract	This paper presents the TagShare project and the linguistic resources and tools for the shallow processing of Portuguese developed in its scope. These resources include a 1 million token corpus that has been accurately hand annotated with a variety of linguistic information, as well as several state of the art shallow processing tools capable of automatically producing that type of annotation. At present, the linguistic annotations in the corpus are sentence and paragraph boundaries, token boundaries, morphosyntactic POS categories, values of inflection features, lemmas and namedentities. Hence, the set of tools comprise a sentence chunker, a tokenizer, a POS tagger, nominal and verbal analyzers and lemmatizers, a verbal conjugator, a nominal “inflector”, and a namedentity recognizer, some of which underline several online services.
Keywords	corpus, POS tagging, named entity recognition, tools, lemmatizer
