Part of speech Tagging of Code mixed Social Media Content: Pipeline, Stacking and Joint Modelling
Multilingual users of social media sometimes use multiple languages during conversation. Mixing multiple languages in content is known as code mixing. We annotate a subset of a trilingual code mixed corpus (Barman et al. 2014) with part of speech (POS) tags. We investigate two state of the art POS tagging techniques for code mixed content and combine the features of the two systems to build a better POS tagger. Furthermore, we investigate the use of a joint model which performs language identification (LID) and partof speech (POS) tagging simultaneously.
