Robust part-of-speech tagging using hidden Markov model
HMM based approach. Treats word equivalence classes (determined by
the possible tags), rather than individual words (however, the 100
most common words are treated as singleton classes).
Discusses problematic words and constructs.

A practical part-of-speech tagger
Xerox-Parc
3rd Applied NLP, ACL, Trento Italy, 1992.
Uses a HMM and some practical considerations.
Some theory on HMM, the practical discussion is of less
importance.

A probabilistic tagger and an analysis of tagging errors
Yet another 96% accurate HMM-based tagger.
Sources of errors are incomplete tag info, sparseness,...

Probabilistic Part-of-Speech Tagging Using Decision Trees
Uses decision trees and the ID-3 alg to estimate probabilities.
Performs better than trigrams on small training corpora,
on large corpora achieves 96%.

Automatically learns rules for tagging.
Initially, every word is tagged with its most likely tag,
then the tag is transformed using rules that depend on the
assigned tags and on the words themselves.

Example Based Correction of Word Segmentation and Part of Speech
Labellings
Addresses the problem of word segmentation in Japanese.
Uses 3 passes: a morphological analyzer, a trained rule-based
correction module, and a HMM tagger. Learned from a very limited
sized training set. The role of the correction module is to
reduce the size of the training set.

Where the Tagger Falters
Analyzes errors made by statistical taggers.
Suggests a linguistically based FSA to detect such errors
(the experiment discussed past vs past participle verbs).
Comments on the success of this approach.
Nice paper. Linguistic background is needed.
