    abstract = "This paper presents NLP Lean Programming framework (NLPf), a new framework for creating custom Natural Language Processing (NLP) models and pipelines by utilizing common software development build systems. This approach allows developers to train and integrate domain-specific NLP pipelines into their applications seamlessly. Additionally, NLPf provides an annotation tool which improves the annotation process significantly by providing a well-designed GUI and sophisticated way of using input devices. Due to NLPf{'}s properties developers and domain experts are able to build domain-specific NLP application more effectively. Project page: \url{https://gitlab.com/schrieveslaach/NLPf} Video Tutorial: \url{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44UJspVebTA} (Demonstration starts at 11:40 min) This paper is related to: - Interfaces and resources to support linguistic annotation - Software architectures and reusable components - Software tools for evaluation or error analysis"
