A feature-based multi-tiered approach (FBT tagger) is introduced to part-of-speech tagging. FBT is a variant of the well-known transformation based learning paradigm aiming at improving the quality of tagging highly inflective languages such as Greek. Additionally, a large experiment concerning the Greek language is conducted and results are presented for a variety of text genres, including financial reports, newswires, press releases and technical manuals. Finally, the adopted evaluation methodology is discussed.", address = "Athens", booktitle = "Proceedings of the 2nd Language Resources and Evaluation Conference", key = "PPGP_2000", month = "June", organization = "European Language Resources Association", pages = "1455--1462", title = "{A} {U}nified {P}OS {T}agging {A}rchitecture and its {A}pplication to {G}reek ", year = "2000", }
