Brill-NL : Brill's part-of-speech tagger for Dutch
Details
The rule-based pos-tagger developed by
Eric Brill 
was slightly changed. It has been trained on a subset of the Eindhoven corpus
[1] using the WOTAN tagset
[2].
The tagger is based on
transformation-based error-driven learning [3], a technique that has been effective in a number of natural language
applications, including part of speech and word sense tagging, prepositional
phrase attachment, and syntactic parsing.
