Summary

Part of Speech Tagging (or POS Tagging for short) is a task in the field of computational linguistics which looks at marking a text corpus with the associated word categories known as parts of speech to words.

Common Approaches

Some common approaches to POS Tagging include the following:

  • Hidden Markov Models based approaches
  • Dynamic Programming/Viterbi-like algorithms (DeRose & Church)
  • Unsupervised algorithms: Brill Tagger (Transformation-based learning), Constraint Grammar, Forward-Backward
