In view of the recent reports on tagger evaluation I just wanted to
wave a little flag with `QTAG' written on it: this is the recently
released language and platform independent tagger developed here at
Birmingham. There has not yet been a lot of `formal' evaluation,
but for those of you who would like to hear some rough estimates:
for Rumanian we achieved 97+% with about 45 tags, and for Swedish I
have been told by a user that he reached 96.3% correct assignments
with 156 tags.

More information on QTAG is available on our website:

and a previous version of the tagger can be accessed via email:
