A Simple Method for Tagset Comparision
Markus Dickinson, Charles Jochim · 2008
Based on the idea that local contexts predict the same basic category across a language, we develop a simple method for comparing tagsets across corpora.The principle differences between tagsets are evidenced by variation in categories in one corpus in the same contexts where another corpus exhibits only a single tag.Such mismatches highlight differences in the definitions of tags which are crucial when porting technology from one annotation scheme to another.
