GATE: a full-lifecycle open source solution for text processing

August 12, 2010 by ·  

GATE is over 15 years old and is in active use for all types of computational task involving human language. GATE excels at text analysis of all shapes and sizes. From large corporations to small startups, from €multi-million research consortia to undergraduate projects, their user community is the largest and most diverse of any system of this type, and is spread across all but one of the continents (apparently not in Antartica).

Core GATE is open source free software; users can obtain free support from the user and developer community via GATE.ac.uk or on a commercial basis from their industrial partners. They are the biggest open source language processing project with a development team more than double the size of the largest comparable projects (many of which are integrated with GATE). More than €5 million has been invested in GATE development; their objective is to make sure that this continues to be money well spent for all GATE’s users.

This note summarises the GATE software and process and gives examples of some of their uses. We believe that GATE is the leading system of its type, but as scientists we have to advise you not to take our word for it; that’s why we’ve measured our software in many of the competitive evaluations over the last decade-and-a-half (MUC, TREC, ACE, DUC, …). We invite you to give it a try, to get involved with the GATE community, and to contribute to human language science, engineering and development.

Puppet – Data center automation and configuration management

August 2, 2010 by ·  

Puppet is an open source data center automation and configuration management framework. Puppet provides system administrators with a simplified platform that allows for consistent, transparent, and flexible systems management. Puppet lets System Administrators spend less time on mundane tasks and instead focus on managing their infrastructure strategically. Puppet’s declarative language describes your system configuration, allowing you to easily reproduce any configuration on any number of additional systems. Additionally, Puppet can help establish and enforce approved system configurations automatically correcting systems that drift from their baseline. Puppet provides an audit trail of all your systems, which can easily be kept in version control for compliance purposes. Whether you have a small, heterogeneous network of user workstations or a cluster of rack-mounted number-crunchers, Puppet can help reduce your overhead and get the everyday management of your network under control so you can concentrate on the real problems.
