Abstract

Industrial applications of a reversible, string-based, unification approach called Humor (High-speed Unification Morphology) is introduced in the paper. It has been used for creating a variety of proofing tools and dictionaries, like spelling checkers, hyphenators, lemmatizers, inflectional thesauri, intelligent bi-lingual dictionaries and, of course, full morphological analysis and synthesis. The first industrialized versions of all of the above modules work and licensed by well-known software companies for their products' Hungarian versions. Development of the same modules for other agglutinative (e.g. Turkish, Estonian) and other (highly) inflectional languages (e.g. Polish, French, German) have also begun.
