Analysis of implemented part of speech tagger approaches: The case of Ethiopian languages

Abstract

Objective: To review Part of Speech (POS) tagging works that have been done for the Ethiopian languages. Methods: All methods that have been implemented to develop POS tagging for the Ethiopian languages have been mentioned. Findings: Since all implemented POS tagging methods have been mentioned in this work, the result will be used for future natural language processing researchers to select the best methodology. Novelty: The work includes all implemented POS tagging research works for the Ethiopian languages. Keywords: Natural language processing; Ethiopian language; part of speech; labeling
