NAT-QI (NATools Query Interface) is a web frontend to query and
browse Parallel Corpora. For details about its architecture and
associated tools see this page.
This interface is querying a server (NATServer) with a
specific parallel corpora, and a specific pair of
languages.
Toolbar Usage:
- Simple Search:
- Enter a word in the search on source language or
search on target language entries (or in both) to
search for concordancies in the parallel corpora. Words are
searched with no specific order.
- Pattern Search:
- If you want to search for a specific sequence of words, click
the Pattern Matching radio button. This option applies
to both source and target language entries. It also has the
feature of searching for patterns: enter some '*' in places
you want any, not specific, word.
- Horizontal Mode:
- The Horizontal Mode radio button let you change the
layout of the output. Instead of two columns, one for each
language, you get two lines, one for each language.
- Result-set Size:
- The Result-set size combo-box let you specify how many
results you want.
Output Description:
The standard output is a five column table:
- number which corresponds to the order in the result-set. Not
very useful.
- a quality measure of the sentence pair.
- sentence in the source language.
- sentence in the target language.
- links to tools you can apply to the sentence pair.
Related Tools Integration:

sub-segment aligner, and sentence generalization tool.
