Joint Segmentation and POS Tagging for Arabic Using a CRF-based Classifier
نویسندگان
چکیده
Arabic is a morphologically rich language, and Arabic texts abound of complex word forms built by concatenation of multiple subparts, corresponding for instance to prepositions, articles, roots prefixes, or suffixes. The development of Arabic Natural Language Processing applications, such as Machine Translation (MT) tools, thus requires some kind of morphological analysis. In this paper, we compare various strategies for performing such preprocessing, using generic machine learning techniques. The resulting tool is compared with two open domain alternatives in the context of a statistical MT task and is shown to be faster than its competitors, with no significant difference in MT quality.

An improved joint model: POS tagging and dependency parsing
Dependency parsing is a way of syntactic parsing and a natural language that automatically analyzes the dependency structure of sentences, and the input for each sentence creates a dependency graph. Part-Of-Speech (POS) tagging is a prerequisite for dependency parsing. Generally, dependency parsers do the POS tagging task along with dependency parsing in a pipeline mode. Unfortunately, in pipel...
متن کاملCharacter-based Joint Segmentation and POS Tagging for Chinese using Bidirectional RNN-CRF
We present a character-based model for joint segmentation and POS tagging for Chinese. The bidirectional RNN-CRF architecture for general sequence tagging is adapted and applied with novel vector representations of Chinese characters that capture rich contextual information and sub-character level features. The proposed model is extensively evaluated and compared with a state-of-the-art tagger ...
متن کاملUsing Part-of-Speech Reranking to Improve Chinese Word Segmentation
Chinese word segmentation and Part-ofSpeech (POS) tagging have been commonly considered as two separated tasks. In this paper, we present a system that performs Chinese word segmentation and POS tagging simultaneously. We train a segmenter and a tagger model separately based on linear-chain Conditional Random Fields (CRF), using lexical, morphological and semantic features. We propose an approx...
متن کاملMorphological Segmentation and Part of Speech Tagging for Religious Arabic
We annotate a small corpus of religious Arabic with morphological segmentation boundaries and fine-grained segment-based part of speech tags. Experiments on both segmentation and POS tagging show that the religious corpus-trained segmenter and POS tagger outperform the Arabic Treebak-trained ones although the latter is 21 times as big , which shows the need for building religious Arabic linguis...
متن کاملArabic Part of Speech Tagging
Arabic is a morphologically rich language, which presents a challenge for part of speech tagging. In this paper, we compare two novel methods for POS tagging of Arabic without the use of gold standard word segmentation but with the full POS tagset of the Penn Arabic Treebank. The first approach uses complex tags that describe full words and does not require any word segmentation. The second app...
