CombiTagger: A System for Developing Combined Taggers
The main task of part-of-speech (PoS) tagging is to assign the appropriate morphosyntactic category to each word in a sentence. A combination of different PoS taggers usually results in higher tagging accuracy than obtained by the use of only a single tagger. We present a new language and tagset independent system, CombiTagger, which combines automatically the output of several taggers. The system, which is open source, provides algorithms for simple and weighted voting, but it is extensible so that other combination algorithms can be added easily. We demonstrate the functionality of CombiTagger by using it to develop and evaluate combined taggers for Icelandic. The most accurate indi
