MBT: Memory-based tagger generation and tagging
MBT is a memory-based tagger-generator and
tagger in one. The tagger-generator part can generate a
sequence tagger on the basis of a training set of tagged sequences;
the tagger part can tag new sequences. MBT can, for instance,
be used to generate part-of-speech taggers or chunkers for natural
language processing. It has also been used for named-entity recognition, information extraction in domain-specific texts, and disfluency chunking in transcribed speech.
