Part of Speech Tagging and Lemmatisation for the Spoken Dutch Corpus
Frank Van Eynde, Jakub Zavrel, Walter M. P. Daelemans · 2000
This paper describes the lemmatisation and tagging guidelines developed for the "Spoken Dutch Corpus", and lays out the philosophy behind the high granularity tagset that was designed for the project.To bootstrap the annotation of large quantities of material (10 million words) with this new tagset we tested several existing taggers and tagger generators on initial samples of the corpus.The results show that the most effective method, when trained on the small samples, is a high quality implementation of a Hidden Markov Model tagger generator.
