What is Foma?

Foma is a compiler, programming language, and C library for constructing finite-state automata and transducers for various uses. It has specific support for many natural language processing applications such as producing morphological analyzers. Although NLP applications are probably the main use of foma, it is sufficiently generic to use for a large number of purposes.

The library contains efficient implementations of all classical automata/transducer algorithms: determinization, minimization, epsilon-removal, composition, boolean operations. Also, more advanced construction methods are available: context restriction, quotients, first-order regular logic, transducers from replacement rules, etc.
