An Evaluation of Two Methods and Their Combination for Part-of-Speech Tagging

Abstract:In this report, we give our comparison of two models for part-of-speech (POS) tagging on ATR treebank. One is the N-gram model and another is Maximum Entropy (ME) model. We investigate the feasibility of ME model when using different trigger types and their contribution to the model. We also give some results about their combination and some future work on this research.
