It was developed by Steven Bird and Edward Loper at the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Computer and Information Science. The NLTK includes graphical tools and sample data and is accompanied by a book that exposes the concepts behind natural language problems solved by the toolkit programs, as well as a cookbook for the most common procedures.
