This is a transfer learning model for tagging low-resource languages.
# Welcome to Part-Of-Speech tagging for low-resource languages
## Introduction
This source code is the basis of the following paper:
> Model Transfer for Tagging Low-resource Languages using a Bilingual Dictionary, by Meng Fang and Trevor Cohn, ACL 2017
## Building
It's developed on dynet toolkit.
- Install dynet following clab/dynet.
- Add the source code to folder *dynet/examples* and modify *CMakeLists.txt*.
- Make again.
## Code
- UniTagger: a universal POS tagger
- JointTagger: a tranfer learning model using both the gold and distant data
## Data format
The format of input data is as follows:
```
Tok_1 Tok_2 ||| Tag_1 Tag_2
Tok_1 Tok_2 Tok_3 ||| Tag_1 Tag_2 Tag_3
...
```
## Data resource
- Crosslingual word embeddings and corpora
- Universal POS tagset
