NLTK replaced by NLTK Lite?

NLTK is now replaced by NLTK-Lite, which is a substantially simplified and streamlined version of NLTK. The last version of NLTK is 1.4.4 and now no longer supported.

My understanding is that NLTK is intended more for compsci students, whereas NLTK Lite is intended for linguistics students. Not that NLTK would never be updated again. But what do I know, maybe it won't. :) pfctdayelise 09:11, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neither: NLTK-lite is a reworking of NLTK. NLTK 1.4 was renamed NLTK-lite .04, to emphasize that some of the features were taken down while the program was rebuilt from scratch. NLTK-lite is now at 0.92. When it reaches 1.0, it will be renamed back to NLTK and its version number bumped up to 2.0. I know this because I am a student of Stephen Bird's at UniMelb. When I have some time I will find a citation for all this and edit the actual article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.240.141.45 (talk) 13:28, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
