Crouching Dirichlet, Hidden Markov Model: Unsupervised POS Tagging with Context Local Tag Generation
13 years 2 months ago
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...
