Abstract

We describe our linguistic rule-based tagger IceTagger, and compare its tagging accuracy to the TnT tagger, a state-of-the-art statistical tagger, when tagging Icelandic, a morphologically complex language. Evaluation shows that the average tagging accuracy is 91.54% and 90.44%, obtained by IceTagger and TnT, respectively. When tag profile gaps in the lexicon, used by the TnT tagger, are filled with tags produced by our morphological analyser IceMorphy, TnT's tagging accuracy increases to 91.18%.

Recommendations

A statistical tagger for morphological tagging of Russian language texts

We consider a method of constructing a statistical tagger for automated morphological tagging for Russian language texts. In this method, each word is assigned with a tag that contains information about the part of speech and a full set of the word's ...
