What is a brill tagger in nltk

This recipe explains what is a brill tagger in nltk

Recipe Objective

This recipe explains what is a brill tagger.

Step 1: Importing library

Let us first import the necessary libraries. We'll import brill, brill_trainer, DefaultTagger and treebank from nltk.tag and nltk.corpus respectivly.

from nltk.tag import brill
from nltk.tag import brill_trainer
from nltk.tag import DefaultTagger
from nltk.corpus import treebank

Step 2: Brill Tagger

                        train
BrillTaggerTrainer ---------------> BrillTagger
        |                               |
        | uses                          | uses
        |                               |
        V                               V
BrillTemplate --------------------> BrillRule
                    genrates


Brill tagger uses several rules to increase the accuracy of initial tagger these rules are based on scores> This score is determined by the error they correct subtracted by the number of new errors they generate. BrillTagger class is a transformation-based tagger.

tag = DefaultTagger('DT')
train = treebank.tagged_sents()[:1000]
test = treebank.tagged_sents()[1000:]
def brill_tagger(tag, train, **kwargs):
    templates = [
            brill.Template(brill.Pos([2])),
            brill.Template(brill.Pos([-2, -1])),
            brill.Template(brill.Pos([1, 2])),
            brill.Template(brill.Pos([-3, -2, -1])),
            brill.Template(brill.Pos([1, 2, 3])),
            brill.Template(brill.Pos([-1]), brill.Pos([1])),
            brill.Template(brill.Word([1])),
            brill.Template(brill.Word([-2])),
            brill.Template(brill.Word([-2, -1])),
            brill.Template(brill.Word([1, 2])),
            brill.Template(brill.Word([-3, -2, -1])),
            brill.Template(brill.Word([1, 2, 3])),
            brill.Template(brill.Word([-1]), brill.Word([1])),
            ]

    f = brill_trainer.BrillTaggerTrainer(
            tag, templates, deterministic = True)

    return f.train(train, **kwargs)

brill = brill_tagger(tag, train)
b = brill.evaluate(test)
print ("Accuracy of brill tag : ", b)
