DESCRIPTION

apertium-tagger is the application responsible for the apertium part-of-speech tagger training or tagging, depending on the calling options. This command only reads from the standard input if the option --tagger or -g is used.

OPTIONS

-t {n}, --train {n}

Initializes parameters through Kupiec's method (unsupervised), then performs n iterations of the Baum-Welch training algorithm (unsupervised).

-s {n}, --supervised {n}

Initializes parameters against a hand-tagged text (supervised) through the maximum likelihood estimate method, then performs n iterations of the Baum-Welch training algorithm (unsupervised)

-r {n}, --retrain {n}

Retrains the model with n additional Baum-Welch iterations (unsupervised).

-g, --tagger

Tags input text by means of Viterbi algorithm.

-p, --show-superficial

Prints the superficial form of the word along side the lexical form in the output stream.

-f, --first

Used in conjuntion with -g (--tagger) makes the tagger give all lexical forms of each word, with the chosen one in the first place (after the lemma)

-d, --debug

Print error (if any) or debug messages while operating.

-m, --mark

Mark disambiguated words.

-h, --help

Display a help message.

FILES

These are the kinds of files used with each option:

DIC Full expanded dictionary file

CRP Training text corpus file

TSX Tagger specification file, in XML format

PROB Tagger data file, built in the training and used while tagging

HTAG Hand-tagged text corpus

UNTAG Untagged text corpus, morphological analysis of HTAG corpus to use both jointly with -s option

INPUT Input file, stdin by default

OUTPUT Output file, stdout by default
