Moscow, Russian Federation

Software Species announced the beta release of AcronymaX, a C++ library for high-performance, high-quality extraction and tagging of acronym/definition pairs in a natural language text. Working from a Unicode text, AcronymaX will detect acronyms and corresponding definitions in any alphabetic language, although it strives to include

specific provisions for English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian.

AcronymaX is distributed as a Windows DLL that you can use from any language, such as C++, C#, or Java.

The two most common uses of AcronymaX are building databases of acronym/definition pairs and tagging acronym/definition pairs in linguistic corpora and user documents.

Further information and documentation is available from AcronymaX Web site, http://lexis.softwarespecies.com.
