ELIT: Language Toolkit

Emory NLP and AWS GluonNLP have embarked on a collaborative project to develop a cloud-based NLP framework. The primary objective of this initiative is to create a seamless integration of NLP components within a pipeline. By leveraging the power of cloud computing, the framework will enable efficient connectivity and coordination between various NLP modules, allowing for smooth and streamlined processing of natural language data.
