Natural Language Processing (NLP) refers to Human-like language processing which reveals that it is a discipline within the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, the ultimate goal of research on Natural Language Processing is to parse and understand language, which is not fully achieved yet. For this reason, much research in NLP has focused on intermediate tasks that make sense of some of the structure inherent in language without requiring complete understanding. One such task is part-of-speech tagging, or simply tagging. Lack of standard part of speech tagger for Afaan Oromo will be the main obstacle for researchers in the area of machine translation, spell checkers, dictionary compilation and automatic sentence parsing and constructions. Even though several works have been done in POS tagging for Afaan Oromo, the performance of the tagger is not sufficiently improved yet. Hence,the aim of this thesis is to improve Brill’s tagger lexical and transformation rule for Afaan Oromo POS tagging with sufficiently large training corpus. Accordingly, Afaan Oromo literatures on grammar and morphology are reviewed to understand nature of the language and also to identify possible tagsets. As a result, 26 broad tagsets were identified and 17,473 words from around 1100 sentences containing 6750 distinct words were tagged for training and testing purpose. From which 258 sentences are taken from the previous work. Since there is only a few ready made standard corpuses, the manual tagging process to prepare corpus for this work was challenging and hence, it is recommended that a standard corpus is prepared. Transformation-based Error driven learning are adapted for Afaan Oromo part of speech tagging. Different experiments are conducted for the rule based approach taking 20% of the whole data for testing. A comparison with the previously adapted Brill’s Tagger made. The previously adapted Brill’s Tagger shows an accuracy of 80.08% whereas the improved Brill’s Tagger result shows an accuracy of 95.6% which has an improvement of 15.52%. Hence, it is found that the size of the training corpus, the rule generating system in the lexical rule learner, and moreover, using Afaan Oromo HMM tagger as initial state tagger have a significant effect on the improvement of the tagger.

The research conduct a Part of Speech Tagging (POS-tagging) for text in Indonesian language, supporting another process in digitising natural language e.g. Indonesian language text parsing. POS-tagging is an automated process of labelling word classes for certain word in sentences (Jurafsky and Martin, 2000). The escalated issue is how to acquire an accurate word class labelling in sentence domain. The author would like to propose a method which combine Hidden Markov Model and Rule Based method. The expected outcome in this research is a better accurary in word class labelling, resulted by only using Hidden Markov Model. The labelling results –from Hidden Markov Model– are  refined by validating with certain rule, composed by the used corpus automatically. From the conducted research through some POST document, using Hidden Markov Model, produced 100% as the highest accurary for identical text within corpus. For different text within the referenced corpus, used words subjected in corpus, produced 92,2% for the highest accurary.

Part of Speech Tagging atau POS Tagging adalah proses memberikan label pada setiap kata dalam sebuah kalimat secara otomatis. Penelitian ini menggunakan algoritma Hidden Markov Model (HMM) untuk proses POS Tagging. Perlakuan untuk unknown words menggunakan Most Probable POS-Tag. Dataset yang digunakan berupa 10 cerita pendek berbahasa Jawa terdiri dari 10.180 kata yang telah diberikan tagsetBahasa Jawa. Pada penelitian ini proses POS Tagging menggunakan dua skenario. Skenario pertama yaitu menggunakan algoritma Hidden Markov Model (HMM) tanpa menggunakan perlakuan untuk unknown words. Skenario yang kedua menggunakan HMM dan Most Probable POS-Tag untuk perlakuan unknown words. Hasil menunjukan skenario pertama menghasilkan akurasi sebesar 45.5% dan skenario kedua menghasilkan akurasi sebesar 70.78%. Most Probable POS-Tag dapat meningkatkan akurasi pada POS Tagging tetapi tidak selalu menunjukan hasil yang benar dalam pemberian label. Most Probable POS-Tag dapat menghilangkan probabilitas bernilai Nol dari POS Tagging Hidden Markov Model. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa POS Tagging dengan menggunakan Hidden Markov Model dipengaruhi oleh perlakuan terhadap unknown words, perbendaharaan kata dan hubungan label kata pada dataset.  Part of Speech Tagging or POS Tagging is the process of automatically giving labels to each word in a sentence. This study uses the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) algorithm for the POS Tagging process. Treatment for unknown words uses the Most Probable POS-Tag. The dataset used is in the form of 10 short stories in Javanese consisting of 10,180 words which have been given the Javanese tagset. In this study, the POS Tagging process uses two scenarios. The first scenario is using the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) algorithm without using treatment for unknown words. The second scenario uses HMM and Most Probable POS-Tag for treatment of unknown words. The results show that the first scenario produces an accuracy of 45.5% and the second scenario produces an accuracy of 70.78%. Most Probable POS-Tag can improve accuracy in POS Tagging but does not always produce correct labels. Most Probable POS-Tag can remove zero-value probability from POS Tagging Hidden Markov Model. The results of this study indicate that POS Tagging using the Hidden Markov Model is influenced by the treatment of unknown words, vocabulary and word label relationships in the dataset.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a branch of machine learning that gives the machines the ability to decode human languages. Part-of-speech tagging (POS tagging) is a preprocessing task that requires an annotated corpora. Rule-based and stochastic methods showed great results for POS tag prediction. On this work, I performed a mathematical model based on Hidden Markov structures and I obtained a high level accuracy of ingredients extracted from text recipe which is a performance greater than what traditional methods could make without unknown words consideration.

POS-tagging gained the interest of researchers in computational linguistics sciences in the recent years. Part-of-speech tagging systems assign the proper grammatical tag or morpho-syntactical category labels automatically to every word in the corpus per its appearance on the text. POS-tagging serves as a fundamental and preliminary step in linguistic analysis which can help in developing many natural language processing applications such as: word processing systems, spell checking systems, building dictionaries and in parsing systems. Arabic language gained the interest of researchers which led to increasing demand for Arabic natural language processing systems. Artificial neural networks has been applied in many applications such as speech recognition and part of speech prediction, but it is considered as a new approach in Part-of-speech tagging. In this research, we developed an Arabic POS-tagger using artificial neural network. A corpus of 20,620 words, which were manually assigned to the appropriate tags was developed and used to train the artificial neural network and to test the part of speech tagger systems’ overall performance. The accuracy of the developed tagger reaches 89.04% using the testing dataset. While, it reaches 98.94% using the training dataset. By combining the two datasets, the accuracy rate for the whole system is 96.96%.

Natural language processing plays a great role in providing an interface for human-computer communication. It enables people to talk with the computer in their formal language rather than machine language. This study aims at presenting a Part of speech tagger that can assign word class to words in a given paragraph sentence. Some of the researchers developed parts of speech taggers for different languages such as English Amharic, Afan Oromo, Tigrigna, etc. On the other hand, many other languages do not have POS taggers like Shekki’noono language.  POS tagger is incorporated in most natural language processing tools like machine translation, information extraction as a basic component. So, it is compulsory to develop a part of speech tagger for languages then it is possible to work with an advanced natural language application. Because those applications enhance machine to machine, machine to human, and human to human communications. Although, one language POS tagger cannot be directly applied for other languages POS tagger. With the purpose for developing the Shekki’noono POS tagger, we have used the stochastic Hidden Markov Model. For the study, we have used 1500 sentences collected from different sources such as newspapers (which includes social, economic, and political aspects), modules, textbooks, Radio Programs, and bulletins.  The collected sentences are labeled by language experts with their appropriate parts of speech for each word.  With the experiments carried out, the part of speech tagger is trained on the training sets using Hidden Markov model. As experiments showed, HMM based POS tagging has achieved 92.77 % accuracy for Shekki’noono. And the POS tagger model is compared with the previous experiments in related works using HMM. As a future work, the proposed approaches can be utilized to perform an evaluation on a larger corpus.
