Simple Type-Level Unsupervised POS Tagging
Part-of-speech (POS) tag distributions are known to exhibit sparsity -- a word is likely to take a single predominant tag in a corpus. Recent research has demonstrated that incorp...

A Simple Unsupervised Learner for POS Disambiguation Rules Given Only a Minimal Lexicon
We propose a new model for unsupervised POS tagging based on linguistic distinctions between open and closed-class items. Exploiting notions from current linguistic theory, the sy...

Crouching Dirichlet, Hidden Markov Model: Unsupervised POS Tagging with Context Local Tag Generation
We define the crouching Dirichlet, hidden Markov model (CDHMM), an HMM for partof-speech tagging which draws state prior distributions for each local document context. This simple...

Unsupervised Lexical Acquisition for Part of Speech Tagging
It is known that POS tagging is not very accurate for unknown words (words which the POS tagger has not seen in the training corpora). Thus, a first step to improve the tagging ac...

Latent-Descriptor Clustering for Unsupervised POS Induction
We present a novel approach to distributionalonly, fully unsupervised, POS tagging, based on an adaptation of the EM algorithm for the estimation of a Gaussian mixture. In this ap...
