RDRPOSTagger is a robust, easy-to-use and language-independent toolkit for POS and morphological tagging. It employs an error-driven approach to automatically construct tagging rules in the form of a binary tree. The main properties of RDRPOSTagger are as follows:
-
RDRPOSTagger obtains very fast tagging speed and achieves a competitive accuracy in comparison to the state-of-the-art results. See experimental results including performance speed and tagging accuracy for 13 languages in our AI Communications article.
-
RDRPOSTagger supports pre-trained models for fine-grained POS and morphological tagging for Bulgarian, Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Thai and Vietnamese.
-
RDRPOSTagger also supports pre-trained universal POS tagging models for 40+ languages. These models are learned using training data from the Universal Dependencies (UD) v2.0. See the universal POS tagging accuracies on UD v2.0 test sets at HERE.
