So today I wrote a 200 line version of my recommended Massive framework, and double-duty as a teaching tool.Īs a stand-alone tagger, my Cython implementation is needlessly complicated - it NLTK carries tremendous baggage around in its implementation because of its But Pattern’s algorithms are pretty crappy, and These were the two taggers wrapped by TextBlob, a new Python api that I think isīoth Pattern and NLTK are very robust and beautifully well documented, so theĪppeal of using them is obvious. The thing is though, it’s very common to see people using taggers that aren’tĪnywhere near that good! For an example of what a non-expert is likely to use, Why my recommendation is to just use a simple and fast tagger that’s roughly as Unfortunately accuracies have been fairly flat for the last ten years.
Tags, and the taggers all perform much worse on out-of-domain data. My parser is about 1% more accurate if the input has hand-labelled POS It’s tempting to look at 97% accuracy and say something similar, but that’s not To be irrelevant it won’t be your bottleneck. The 4s includes initialisation time - the actual per-token speed is high enough If you do all that, you’ll find your tagger easy to write and understand, and anĮfficient Cython implementation will perform as follows on the standardĮvaluation, 130,000 words of text from the Wall Street Journal: Tagger Probably shouldn’t bother with any kind of search strategy you should just use a About 50% of the words can be tagged that way.Īnd unless you really, really can’t do without an extra 0.1% of accuracy, you Have unambiguous tags, so you don’t have to do anything but output their tags Then you can lower-case yourįor efficiency, you should figure out which frequent words in your training data Instead, features that ask “how frequently is this word title-cased, inĪ large sample from the web?” work well.

If you only need the tagger to work on carefully edited text, you should useĬase-sensitive features, but if you want a more robust tagger you should avoid You should use two tags of history, and features derived from the Brown word Ignore the others and just use Averaged Perceptron. There are a tonne of “best known techniques” for POS tagging, and you should
#Spacy part of speech tagger how to
Recommendations suck, so here’s how to write a good part-of-speech tagger. We don’t want to stick our necks out too much. And academics are mostly pretty self-conscious when we write. This doesn't mean it is bad overall, or that PoS tagging is your real problem.Up-to-date knowledge about natural language processing is mostly locked away inĪcademia. Sometimes the model will get confused by things you and I consider obvious, e.g. However, the errors of the model will not be the same as the human errors, as the two have "learnt" how to solve the problem in a different way. The accuracy of modern English PoS taggers is around 97%, which is roughly the same as the average human. In general, you shouldn't judge the performance of a statistical system on a case-by-case basis. Ask yourself what you are trying to achieve and whether 3% error rate in PoS tagging is the worst of your problems. If error rate is too high for your purposes, you can re-train the model using domain-specific data. The model has been trained on a standard corpus of English, which may be quite different to the kind of language you are using it for (domain). There isn't an easy way to correct its output, because it is not using rules or anything you can modify easily. The tagger had to guess, and guessed wrong. I would guess those data did not contain the word dosa. Spacy's tagger is statistical, meaning that the tags you get are its best estimate based on the data it was shown during training. TL DR: You should accept the occasional error. Is there any way I can get crispy to be tagged as an adjective in the second case too? I think the primary reason why crispy wasn't tagged as an adjective in the first case was because dosa was tagged as 'NN' whereas fries was tagged as 'NNS' in the second case. It recognizes that crispy is an adjective. However, if I use a test sentence like a="we had crispy fries" Here it returns crispy as a noun instead of an adjective. Nlp = English(parser=False, tagger=True, entity=False)

Here is my code for the same from spacy.en import English, LOCAL_DATA_DIRĭata_dir = os.environ.get('SPACY_DATA', LOCAL_DATA_DIR) I am trying to do POS tagging using the spaCy module in Python.
