Part of Speech Tagging for Code Switched Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
We address the problem of Part of Speech tagging (POS) in the context of linguistic code switching (CS). CS is the phenomenon where a speaker switches between two languages or variants of the same language within or across utterances, known as intra-sentential or inter-sentential CS, respectively. Processing CS data is especially challenging in intrasentential data given state of the art monolingual NLP technology since such technology is geared toward the processing of one language at a time. In this paper we explore multiple strategies of applying state of the art POS taggers to CS data. We investigate the landscape in two CS language pairs, Spanish-English and Modern Standard Arabic-Arabic dialects. We compare the use of two POS taggers vs. a unified tagger trained on CS data. Our results show that applying a machine learning framework using two state fof the art POS taggers achieves better performance compared to all other approaches that we investigate.

Part-of-Speech Tagging for English-Spanish Code-Switched Text
Code-switching is an interesting linguistic phenomenon commonly observed in highly bilingual communities. It consists of mixing languages in the same conversational event. This paper presents results on Part-of-Speech tagging Spanish-English code-switched discourse. We explore different approaches to exploit existing resources for both languages that range from simple heuristics, to language id...
متن کاملAn 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...

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...
متن کاملCrowdsourcing Universal Part-of-Speech Tags for Code-Switching
Code-switching is the phenomenon by which bilingual speakers switch between multiple languages during communication. The importance of developing language technologies for codeswitching data is immense, given the large populations that routinely code-switch. High-quality linguistic annotations are extremely valuable for any NLP task, and performance is often limited by the amount of high-qualit...

Part of speech tagging (POS tagging) is an ongoing research in natural language processing (NLP) applications. The process of classifying words into their parts of speech and labeling them accordingly is known as part-of-speech tagging, POS-tagging, or simply tagging. Parts of speech are also known as word classes or lexical categories. The purpose of POS tagging is determining the grammatical ...
