Hamish Cunningham, Robert Gaizauskas, Kevin Humphreys, Yorick Alexander Wilks · 1999
GATE, the General Architecture for Text Engineering, aims to provide a software infrastructure for researchers and developers working in the area of natural language processing. A version of GATE has now been widely available for three years. In this paper we review the objectives which motivated the creation of GATE and the functionality and design of the current system. We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the current system, identify areas for improvement and present plans for implementing these improvements.
