Corpora: ICOPOST 0.9.0: POS taggers (GPL'ed)

[Ingo Schroeder]

ICOPOST Release 0.9.0
2001/08/21


What is ICOPOST?
----------------

ICOPOST is a collection of free POS tagger implementations written
by Ingo Schröder. Currently three tagging frameworks are realized:

- Maximum Entropy Tagger MET (original work by Adwait Ratnaparkhi)
- HMM Trigram Tagger T3 (original work by F. Jelinek, Torsten Brandts
  and many others)
- Error-driven Transformation-based Tagger (original work by Eric Brill)

The latest version can be found at

  http://nats-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~ingo/icopost/

The ICOPOST package has been released under the GNU public license
(see file LICENSE in the distribution). If you need a different
license you have to contact me.


Installation
------------

ICOPOST is written in pure C code. It has been tested on SUN Solaris
and Linux, but ports to other OS should be trivial.

- Download distribution icopost-x.y.z.tar.gz
- Unpack the distribution:
  $ gunzip -c icopost-x.y.z.tar.gz | tar fx -
- Go to source directory and make binaries:
  $ cd icopost-x.y.z
  $ cd src
  $ make install
- Binaries should now be in icopost-x.y.z/bin
  directory.


Documentation
-------------

Main documentation is in the icopost-x.y.z/html directory. The
web page (see above) may have more recent information.
