Manage and analyze texts with state-of-the-art NLP tools.


The Common Text Analysis Platform is a set of tools that helps you manage your text corpus and automatically analyze them for various purposes. Potential uses of the system include text complexity assessment, plagiarism detection, authorship attrition, and native language detection, etc.

The CTAP Tools include modules for corpus management, feature selection, analysis generation, and result visualization. Combination of the modules makes your text analysis highly flexible. For more detailed introduction of each module, please refer to the Documentation.


Whether you like the platform or not, we would love to hear from you. Tell us how you are using the system and the problems you met or success you've gained. We would also be glad to include your work if you would like to contribute to the project.
