The Open Source Tagger HunPoS for Swedish

HunPoS, a freely available open source part-of-speech tagger—a reimplementa-tion of one of the best performing taggers, TnT—is applied to Swedish and evaluated when the tagger is trained on various sizes of training data. The tagger’s accuracy is compared to other data-driven taggers for Swedish. The results show that the tagging performance of HunPoS is as accurate as TnT and can be used efficiently to tag run-ning text.
