CLAWS (Constituent Likelihood Automatic Word-tagging System)

CLAWS (Constituent Likelihood Automatic Word-tagging System) is a computer program designed to automatically identify the grammatical parts of words in sentences, like nouns, verbs, or adjectives. Using statistical models, it analyzes large text samples to learn patterns and then applies this knowledge to tag new words accurately. Essentially, CLAWS helps computers understand sentence structure, which is essential for tasks like translation, information retrieval, and language analysis. Its sophisticated approach allows for precise and context-aware tagging, making it a valuable tool in computational linguistics and natural language processing.
