Fuzzy network model for part-of-speech tagging under small training data
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 June 1996
Abstract
Recently, most part-of-speech tagging approaches, such as rule-based, probabilistic and neural network approaches, have shown very promising results. In this paper, we are particularly interested in probabilistic approaches, which usually require lots of training data to get reliable probabilities. We alleviate such a restriction of probabilistic approaches by introducing a fuzzy network model to provide a method for estimating more reliable parameters of a model under a small amount of training data. Experiments with the Brown corpus show that the performance of the fuzzy network model is much better than that of the hidden Markov model under a limited amount of training data.
