Combination of Genetic Algorithm and Brill Tagger Algorithm for Part of Speech Tagging Bahasa Madura

Part of speech (POS) is commonly known as word types in a sentence such as verbs, adjectives, nouns, and so on. Part of Speech (POS) Tagging is a process of marking the word class or part of speech in every word in a sentence. Part of Speech Tagging has an important role to be used as a basis for research in Natural Language Processing. That is why research on Part of Speech Tagging for Bahasa Madura as an effort to preserve and develop the use of regional languages. In this research, POS Tagging is done using the Brill Tagger Algorithm which is combined with the Genetic Algorithm. Brill Tagger is a POS Tagging Algorithm that has the best level of accuracy when implemented in other languages. Genetic Algorithms used in the contextual learner process with consideration in previous studies can increase the speed of the training process so that it is more efficient. The results of this study are then compared with the results of the previous study so that we can find out suitable algorithms used for the development of text processing in Bahasa Madura. From a series of experiments, the average accuracy obtained by using Brill Tagger is 86.4% with the highest accuracy of 86.7%, while using GA Brill Tagger shows an average accuracy of 86.5% with the highest accuracy of 86.6%. Testing by observing OOV (Out of Vocabulary) achieves an average accuracy of 67.7% for Brill Taggers and 64.6% for GA Brill Taggers. Testing by considering multiple POS with Brill Tagger produces an average accuracy of 73.3% while testing using GA Brill Tagger produces an average accuracy of 90.9%. This shows that the accuracy with GA Brill Tagger is better than Brill Tagger, especially if considering multiple POS. This is because GA Brill Tagger can generate rules for handling the existence of multiple POS more than pure Brill Tagger.Part of speech (POS) is commonly known as word types in a sentence such as verbs, adjectives, nouns, and so on.

An automatic part-of-speech tagger for Middle Low German

Syntactically annotated corpora are highly important for enabling large-scale diachronic and diatopic language research. Such corpora have recently been developed for a variety of historical languages, or are still under development. One of those under development is the fully tagged and parsed Corpus of Historical Low German (CHLG), which is aimed at facilitating research into the highly under-researched diachronic syntax of Low German. The present paper reports on a crucial step in creating the corpus, viz. the creation of a part-of-speech tagger for Middle Low German (MLG). Having been transmitted in several non-standardised written varieties, MLG poses a challenge to standard POS taggers, which usually rely on normalized spelling. We outline the major issues faced in the creation of the tagger and present our solutions to them

How Part-of-Speech Tags Affect Text Retrieval and Filtering Performance

Natural language processing (NLP) applied to information retrieval (IR) and filtering problems may assign part-of-speech tags to terms and, more generally, modify queries and documents. Analytic models can predict the performance of a text filtering system as it incorporates changes suggested by NLP, allowing us to make precise statements about the average effect of NLP operations on IR. Here we provide a model of retrieval and tagging that allows us to both compute the performance change due to syntactic parsing and to allow us to understand what factors affect performance and how. In addition to a prediction of performance with tags, upper and lower bounds for retrieval performance are derived, giving the best and worst effects of including part-of-speech tags. Empirical grounds for selecting sets of tags are considered.Comment: uuencoded and compressed postscrip

Genetic Algorithm (GA) in Feature Selection for CRF Based Manipuri Multiword Expression (MWE) Identification

This paper deals with the identification of Multiword Expressions (MWEs) in Manipuri, a highly agglutinative Indian Language. Manipuri is listed in the Eight Schedule of Indian Constitution. MWE plays an important role in the applications of Natural Language Processing(NLP) like Machine Translation, Part of Speech tagging, Information Retrieval, Question Answering etc. Feature selection is an important factor in the recognition of Manipuri MWEs using Conditional Random Field (CRF). The disadvantage of manual selection and choosing of the appropriate features for running CRF motivates us to think of Genetic Algorithm (GA). Using GA we are able to find the optimal features to run the CRF. We have tried with fifty generations in feature selection along with three fold cross validation as fitness function. This model demonstrated the Recall (R) of 64.08%, Precision (P) of 86.84% and F-measure (F) of 73.74%, showing an improvement over the CRF based Manipuri MWE identification without GA application.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures, see http://airccse.org/journal/jcsit/1011csit05.pd

Combined optimization of feature selection and algorithm parameters in machine learning of language

Comparative machine learning experiments have become an important methodology in empirical approaches to natural language processing (i) to investigate which machine learning algorithms have the 'right bias' to solve specific natural language processing tasks, and (ii) to investigate which sources of information add to accuracy in a learning approach. Using automatic word sense disambiguation as an example task, we show that with the methodology currently used in comparative machine learning experiments, the results may often not be reliable because of the role of and interaction between feature selection and algorithm parameter optimization. We propose genetic algorithms as a practical approach to achieve both higher accuracy within a single approach, and more reliable comparisons
