About ucto

From Debian's package description

Ucto can tokenize UTF-8 encoded text files (i.e. separate words from punctuation, split sentences, generate n-grams), and offers several other basic preprocessing steps that make your text suited for further processing such as indexing, part-of-speech tagging, or machine translation.

This package provides the command-line tool itself.

Ucto was written by Maarten van Gompel and Ko van der Sloot. Work on Ucto was funded by NWO, the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research, under the Implicit Linguistics project, the CLARIN-NL program, and the CLARIAH project.

Ucto is a product of the Centre of Language and Speech Technology (Radboud University Nijmegen), and previously the ILK Research Group (Tilburg University, The Netherlands).

If you are interested in machine parsing of UTF-8 encoded text files, e.g. to do scientific research in natural language processing, ucto will likely be of use to you.
