3 Approach Descripti on

The f ollowing sections describe our SVM–based approach to PoS–

tagging. Subsection 3.1 relates our approach to previous work on the

same task. In Subsection 3.2 the SVM learning paradigm is brieﬂy

presented. Subsection 3.3 describes how the problem of PoS–tagging

can be seen as a multiclass classiﬁcation problem f or which an SVM

learning framework can be set.

3.1 Related Work

In the recent literature, we can ﬁnd several approaches to PoS tag-

ging based on statistical and machine learning techn iques, includ ing

among many others: Hidden Markov Models [WSP

93, Bra00], Maxi-

mum Entropy taggers [Rat96], Transformation–based learning [Bri95],

Memory–based learning [DZBG96], Decision Trees [MR97], AdaBoost

[ASS99], and Support Vector Machines [NKM01]. Most of the pre-

vious taggers have been evaluated on the English WSJ corpus , us ing

the Penn Treebank set of PoS categories and a lexicon constructed

directly from the annotated corpus. Although the evaluations were

performed with slight variations, there was a wide consensous in the

late 90’s that the state–of-the–art accuracy for English PoS tagging

was between 96.4% and 96.7%.

In the recent years, the most succesful and popular taggers in the

NLP community have been the HMM–based TnT tagger [Bra00], the

Transformation–based learning (TBL) tagger [Bri95], and several vari-

ants of the Maximum Entropy (ME) approach [Rat96]. In our opinion,

TnT is an example of a really p ractical tagger for NLP applications. It

is available to anybody, simple and easy to use, considerably accurate,

and extremely eﬃcient, allowing a training from 1 millon word corpora

in just a few seconds and tagging thousands of words per second. In

the case of TBL and ME approaches, the great s uccess has been due

to the ﬂexibility they oﬀer in m odelling contextual information, being

ME slightly more accurate than TBL.

Far from being considered a closed problem, several researchers

tried to improve results on the PoS tagging task during last years.

Some of them by allowing richer and more complex HMM models

[TH99, LTR00], others [TM00] by enr iching the feature set in a ME

tagger, and others [NKM01] by using more eﬀective learning tech -

niques: SVM, and a Voted–Perceptron–based training of a ME mo del

[Col02]. In these more complex taggers the state–of–the–art accuracy

was raised up to 96.9%–97.1% on the same WSJ corpus. In a com-

plementary direction, other researchers suggested the combination of

several pre-existing taggers under several alternative voting schemes

[BW98, HZD98, MRCM99]. Although the accuracy of these taggers

is even better (around 97.2%) the ensembles of PoS taggers are unde-

niably more complex and less eﬃcient.

In this work we suggest to go back to the TnT philosophy (i.e.,

simplicity and eﬃciency with state–of–the–art accuracy) but within

the SVM learning framework. We claim that the SVM–based tagger

intr oduced in this work fulﬁlls the requirements for being a practical

tagger and oﬀers a very good balance of the following properties. (1)

Simplicity: the tagger is easy to use and has few parameters to tune;

(2) Flexibility and robustness: rich context features can be eﬃciently

handled without over ﬁtting problems, allowing lexicalization; (3) High

accuracy: the SVM–based tagger perf orms signiﬁcantly better than

TnT and achieves an accuracy competitive to the best current taggers;

(4) Eﬃciency: training on the WSJ is performed in around one CPU

hour and the tagging speed allows a massive processing of texts.

It is worth noting that the Support Vector Machines (SVM) para-

digm has been already applied to tagging in a previous paper [NKM01],

with the focus on the guessing of unknown word categories. The ﬁ-

nal tagger constructed in that paper gave a clear evidence that the

SVM approach is specially appropriate for the second and third of

the p revious points, th e main drawback being a low eﬃciency (in that

paper a runn ing speed of around 20 words per second is reported). In

the present work we overcome this limitation by working with linear

kernels in the primal setting of the SVM framework taking advantage

of the extremely sparsity of example vectors. The resulting tagger

is almost as accurate as that of [NKM01] but 60 times faster in a

preliminar prototype implemented in Perl and 600 faster in the C+ +

version.

3.2 The Theory of Support Vector Machines

SVM is a machine learning algorithm for binary classiﬁcation, w hich

has been successfully applied to a number of practical problems, in-

cluding NLP. Consider [CST00] for a good survey on SVMs.

Let {(x

, y

), . . . , (x

, y

)} be the set of N training examples,

where each instance x

is a vector in R

and y

∈ {−1, +1} is the

class label. In their basic form, a SVM learns a linear hyper plane

that separates the set of positive examples from the set of negative

examples with maximal margin (the margin is deﬁned as the distance

of the hyperplane to the nearest of the positive an d negative exam-

ples). T his learning bias has proved to have good properties in terms

of generalization bounds for the induced classiﬁers.
