[Corpora-List] POS-tagger maintenance and improvement

[Oliver Mason]

Adam,

I have a while ago started to add a rule-based pre/post-processor to
QTag, which is meant to iron out some typical systematic errors that
often occur with statistical tagging.  While this does improve
accuracy, it makes the tagger more dependent on a particular tagset
(and also a particular language).  However, it might still be useful
to have those rules in a language/tagset specific resource file rather
than applicable to the tagger itself.

So in principle there should be no problem in adding more rules to the
tagger to cater for systematic errors without having to mess about
with the training data, it's only a question of time and effort.

Best wishes,
Oliver
