Ahmed H. Aliwy, Duaa A. Al Raza · International Journal of Engineering & Technology · 2018
Part Of Speech (POS) tagging of Arabic words is a difficult and non-travail task it was studied in details for the last twenty years and its performance affects many applications and tasks in area of natural language processing (NLP). The sentence in Arabic language is very long compared with English sentence. This affect tagging process for any approach deals with complete sentence at once as in Hidden Markov Model HMM tagger. In this paper, new approach is suggested for using HMM and n-grams taggers for tagging Arabic words in a long sentence. The suggested approach is very simple and easy to implement. It is implemented on data set of 1000 documents of 526321 tokens annotated manually (containing punctuations). The results shows that the suggested approach has higher accuracy than HMM and n-gram taggers. The F-measures were 0.888, 0.925 and 0.957 for n-grams, HMM and the suggested approach respectively.
