In Reply-To: Marta Saiz <martas@ccl.umist.ac.uk>, who asked :
--- Has anyone trained or attempted to train Brill's tagger for any language apart from English? I'm specially interested in Spanish but I'd like to hearabout experiences when training it for another language.---I'm working with Brill tagger on French corpora. I've trained it alone, without experience of such tool, and I have no evaluation. Nonetheless, we participate in an evaluation programm of the AUPELF-UREF, which is for French only, and hope to be able to provide you with more significant results soon.
I must add I use it with an external lexicon (#275000 entries) rather than the small one issued from the training process.
You can contact me at the address below for more information.
Yours,
-S.F.
