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.

Part-of-speech (PoS) tagger merupakan salah satu task dalam bidang natural language processing (NLP) sebagai proses penandaan kategori kata (part-of-speech) untuk setiap kata pada teks kalimat masukan. Hidden markov model (HMM) merupakan algoritma PoS tagger berbasis probabilistik, sehingga sangat tergantung pada train corpus. Terbatasnya komponen dalam train corpus dan luasnya kata dalam bahasa Indonesia menimbulkan masalah yang disebut out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words. Penelitian ini membandingkan PoS tagger yang menggunakan HMM+AM (analisis morfologi) dan PoS tagger HMM tanpa AM, dengan menggunakan train corpus dan testing corpus yang sama. Testing corpus mengandung 30% tingkat OOV dari 6.676 token atau 740 kalimat masukan. Hasil yang diperoleh dari sistem HMM saja memiliki akurasi 97.54%, sedangkan sistem HMM dengan metode analisis morfologi memiliki akurasi tertinggi 99.14%.

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 (POS) tagging is one of the research challenging fields in natural language processing (NLP). It requires good knowledge of a particular language with large amounts of data or corpora for feature engineering, which can lead to achieving a good performance of the tagger. Our main contribution in this research work is the designed Khasi POS corpus. Till date, there has been no form of any kind of Khasi corpus developed or formally developed. In the present designed Khasi POS corpus, each word is tagged manually using the designed tagset. Methods of deep learning have been used to experiment with our designed Khasi POS corpus. The POS tagger based on BiLSTM, combinations of BiLSTM with CRF, and character-based embedding with BiLSTM are presented. The main challenges of understanding and handling Natural Language toward Computational linguistics to encounter are anticipated. In the presently designed corpus, we have tried to solve the problems of ambiguities of words concerning their context usage, and also the orthography problems that arise in the designed POS corpus. The designed Khasi corpus size is around 96,100 tokens and consists of 6,616 distinct words. Initially, while running the first few sets of data of around 41,000 tokens in our experiment the taggers are found to yield considerably accurate results. When the Khasi corpus size has been increased to 96,100 tokens, we see an increase in accuracy rate and the analyses are more pertinent. As results, accuracy of 96.81% is achieved for the BiLSTM method, 96.98% for BiLSTM with CRF technique, and 95.86% for character-based with LSTM. Concerning substantial research from the NLP perspectives for Khasi, we also present some of the recently existing POS taggers and other NLP works on the Khasi language for comparative purposes.

Part-of-Speech tagging or word class labeling is a process for labeling a word class in a word in a sentence. Previous research on POS Tagger, especially for Indonesian, has been done using various approaches and obtained high accuracy values. However, not many researchers have built POS Tagger for Balinese. In this article, we are interested in building a POS Tagger for Balinese using a probabilistic approach, specifically the Hidden Markov Model (HMM). HMM is selected to deal with ambiguity since it gives higher accuracy and fast processing time. We used k-fold cross-validation (with k = 10) and tagged corpus around 3669 tokens with 21 tags. Based on the experiments conducted, the HMM method obtained an accuracy of 68.56%.

In Natural Language Processing (NLP), Word segmentation and Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging are fundamental tasks. The POS information is also necessary in NLP’s preprocessing work applications such as machine translation (MT), information retrieval (IR), etc. Currently, there are many research efforts in word segmentation and POS tagging developed separately with different methods to get high performance and accuracy. For Myanmar Language, there are also separate word segmentors and POS taggers based on statistical approaches such as Neural Network (NN) and Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). But, as the Myanmar language's complex morphological structure, the OOV problem still exists. To keep away from error and improve segmentation by utilizing POS data, segmentation and labeling should be possible at the same time.The main goal of developing POS tagger for any Language is to improve accuracy of tagging and remove ambiguity in sentences due to language structure. This paper focuses on developing word segmentation and Part-of- Speech (POS) Tagger for Myanmar Language. This paper presented the comparison of separate word segmentation and POS tagging with joint word segmentation and POS tagging.
