Corpora: Russian POS tagger

[Alexander Gelbukh]

Hi,

I have developed a Russian morphological analyzer / synthesyzer (not
tagger!), which I can send you for reserach purpose and without the right to
transfer it to others. I would apprciate if in the resulting work you cite
my papers that describe the analyzer (I will provide you with the references
and full texts; see also my publications for 1989 to 1993 at my webpage, see
below).

Unfortunately, because of copyright issues I only can send you a rather old
version, which is a bit incomplete (perfection does not exist :-) and the
dictionary is limited to some 90,000 lexemes.

As far as I recall, that version does not handle a few frequent words like
"to be" (becuase of their complicated morphological patterns), though it
does handle more regular words.

To add a new word to the dictionary is possible but a bit complicated (I
would need to write English documentation on how to do this for you). For
now, it just says "unknown word" for the words it does not have in the
dictionary.

Thank you.
Alexander
