ACABIT is under Licence GPL.

ACABIT is a terminology extraction program which takes as input a linguistic annotated corpus and proposes as output a list of multi-word term (MWT) candidates ranked from the most representative of the corpus to the least using loglike score. For each MWT candidate, a XML structure is provided which gathers all the base structures and the variations encountered.

ACABIT uses the following programs :

• Perl

• For French :

• Brill's POS tagger for French ATILF
• French lemmatizater FLEMM (WARNING : the output data of FLEMM has been modified. You need to use FLEMM-v2.0 (1999))
• XML format. This perl script could be used brill2xml.pl

• For English :

• Brill's POS BRILL
• Lemmatiser : lexical database CELEX
