Part of Speech Tagging of Marathi Text Using Trigram Method
In this paper we present a Marathi part of speech tagger. It is a morphologically rich language. It is spoken by the native people of Maharashtra. The general approach used for development of tagger is statistical using trigram Method. The main concept of trigram is to explore the most likely POS for a token based on given information of previous two tags by calculating probabilities to determine which is the best sequence of a tag. In this paper we show the development of the tagger. Moreover we have also shown the evaluation done
Modeling Global Syntactic Variation in English Using Dialect Classification
This paper evaluates global-scale dialect identification for 14 national
varieties of English as a means for studying syntactic variation. The paper
makes three main contributions: (i) introducing data-driven language mapping as
a method for selecting the inventory of national varieties to include in the
task; (ii) producing a large and dynamic set of syntactic features using
grammar induction rather than focusing on a few hand-selected features such as
function words; and (iii) comparing models across both web corpora and social
media corpora in order to measure the robustness of syntactic variation across
registers
