چکیده

Five language and tagset independent stochastic taggers, handling morphological and contextual information, are presented and tested in corpora of seven European languages (Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian and Spanish), using two sets of grammatical tags; a small set containing the eleven main grammatical classes and a large set of grammatical categories common to all languages. The unknown words are tagged using an experimentally proven stochastic hypothesis that links the stochastic behavior of the unknown words with that of the less probable known words. A fully automatic training and tagging program has been implemented on an IBM PC-compatible 80386-based computer. Measurements of error rate, time response, and memory requirements have shown that the taggers" performance is satisfactory, even though a small training text is available. The error rate is improved when new texts are used to update the stochastic model parameters.

Abstract: Part-Of-Speech (POS) tagging is essential work for many models and methods in other areas in natural language processing such as machine translation, spell checker, text-to-speech, automatic speech recognition, etc. So far, high accurate POS taggers have been created in many languages. In this paper, we focus on POS tagging in the Persian language. Because of problems in Persian POS t...

Computational Methods for Coptic: Developing and Using Part-of-Speech Tagging for Digital Scholarship in the Humanities

This paper motivates and details the first implementation of a freely available part of speech tag set and tagger for Coptic. Coptic is the last phase of the Egyptian language family and a descendent of the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt. Unlike classical Greek and Latin, few resources for digital and computational work have existed for ancient Egyptian language and literature until now. We evalu...

Intégration de ressources lexicales riches dans un analyseur syntaxique probabiliste. (Integration of lexical resources in a probabilistic parser)

This thesis focuses on the integration of lexical and syntactic resources of French in two fundamental tasks of Natural Language Processing [NLP], that are probabilistic part-of-speech tagging and probabilistic parsing. In the case of French, there are a lot of lexical and syntactic data created by automatic processes or by linguists. In addition, a number of experiments have shown interest to ...

Towards a Bayesian Stochastic Part-Of-Speech and Case Tagger of Natural Language Corpora

This paper introduces and evaluates a Bayesian Network probabilistic model for automatic Part-Of-Speech tagging of Modern Greek natural language texts. The Bayesian model for the task of POS tagging is mathematically formed and is compared to that of Hidden Markov, a broadly applied methodology. Our model is trained from annotated corpora, using lexical as well as contextual information. Unlike...
