A Contextual and Embedded Approach for Part-of-Speech Tagging for Assamese- English Code-Mixed Text
Main Article Content
Abstract
Part-of-speech (POS) tagging is an essential procedure in natural language processing (NLP) that allocates each word in a text to its appropriate grammatical category, including nouns, verbs, adjectives, and others. Part-of-speech tagging in code-mixed texts presents challenges, because of language mixing and the lack of large annotated datasets, especially in low-resource languages like Assamese. This paper presents a comparative analysis of different POS tagging models to develop a hybrid system for POS tagging of Assamese-English code-mixed texts. Each model’s performance is evaluated on Assamese-English code-mixed dataset, analysing metrics like accuracy, precision, and recall. Based on these findings, we propose a conceptual and embedded POS tagging system that combines the strengths of XLM-RoBERTa model and CRF model to enhance overall tagging accuracy.
