Hybrid Approaches for Assamese POS Tagging: LSTM-CRF and CNN-CRF Model
摘要
In this research, an Assamese parts-of-speech (POS) tagger was created using advanced neural network architectures like Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) with Conditional Random Fields (CRF) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with CRF. Our goal was to improve the accuracy of POS tagging for Assamese using the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) tag set. A large corpus of 70,000 manually tagged Assamese words was created and annotated according to BIS standards. The text underwent extensive preprocessing to ensure cleanliness and effective tokenization, and the words and tags were converted into numerical formats suitable for training our models. Our architecture included an embedding layer with pre-trained word embeddings to grasp linguistic subtleties, LSTM and CNN layers to recognize patterns in the text sequence, and a CRF layer to refine POS tag predictions. Our investigations focused on various configurations, and the LSTM-CRF model achieved an accuracy of 89.32%, while the CNN-CRF model achieved an accuracy of 95.52%. These findings represent a significant advancement in POS tagging for Assamese, providing valuable insights for linguistic research in related languages.
