Part-of-Speech Tagging for Code-Mixed English-Hindi Twitter and Facebook Chat Messages
Anupam Jamatia, Björn Gambäck, Amitava Das · 2015
The paper reports work on collecting and annotating code-mixed English-Hindi so- cial media text (Twitter and Facebook messages), and experiments on automatic tagging of these corpora, using both a coarse-grained and a fine-grained part-of- speech tag set. We compare the perfor- mance of a combination of language spe- cific taggers to that of applying four ma- chine learning algorithms to the task (Con- ditional Random Fields, Sequential Mini- mal Optimization, Naïve Bayes and Ran- dom Forests), using a range of different features based on word context and word- internal information
