[Corpora-List] tagger for Ukranian

[Serge Sharoff]

Dear all,

getting a reliable HMM tagger done is a matter of a weekend job (or one week if you want to debug and document it) provided that you have a lexicon and a tagger for a closely related language.  This follows research done by Anna Feldman and Chris Brew at Ohio State, see
@INPROCEEDINGS{feldman06,
  author = {Anna Feldman and Jirka Hana and Chris Brew},
  title = {A cross-language approach to rapid creation of new morpho-syntactically
	annotated resources},
  booktitle = {Proceedings of the Fifth Language Resources and Evaluation Conference LREC 2006},
location = {Genoa, Italy},
  year = {2006}
}

A reliable Russian tagger exists
@InProceedings{sharoff08lrec-mocky,
  author = 	 {Serge Sharoff and Mikhail Kopotev and Toma\v{z} Erjavec and Anna Feldman and Dagmar Divjak},
  title = 	 {Designing and Evaluating a {Russian} Tagset},
  booktitle =	 {Proceedings of the Sixth Language Resources and Evaluation Conference, {LREC} 2008},
  year =	 2008,
  address =	 {Marrakech}
}

The Ukrainian lexicon is available from Multext-East:
@InProceedings{erjavec10,
  author = {Tomaž Erjavec},
  title = {MULTEXT-East Version 4: Multilingual Morphosyntactic Specifications, Lexicons and Corpora},
  booktitle = {Proceedings of the Seventh conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC'10)},
  year = {2010},
  address = {Valletta, Malta}
 } 

so getting the Ukrainian tagger done is just the matter of getting someone to use a simple set of tools.

Best,
Serge

Yes, I too have been looking for a Ukrainian tagger, but to no avail. I made a real effort to get a response from the UGTag people but failed - I fear it is vapourware. I think serge Sharoff at Leeds may be planning to produce a Ukrainian tagger, but it is some way off. Best,

Tony

Hi,

this is indeed difficult: I discovered UGTag:
http://www.domeczek.pl/~polukr/parcor/

But the development seems to be suspended, I didn't succeed to get a
copy of the tagger.

ABBYY has a commercial solution for at least the morphological analysis
of Ukrainian. Its name is ABBYY Morphology Engine. Perhaps you can get
an evaluation copy of the tool.

I'd also be interested in an Ukrainian tagger.
