What is pos-english?
The pos-english model is a state-of-the-art Part-of-Speech tagger that serves as the default POS tagging model in the Flair framework. It's designed to analyze English text and assign detailed grammatical tags to each word, supporting 36 different POS categories from basic parts of speech to fine-grained distinctions like comparative adjectives and possessive pronouns.
Implementation Details
This model implements a sophisticated architecture combining contextual string embeddings (Flair embeddings) with an LSTM-CRF sequence labeling framework. It utilizes both forward and backward news embeddings to capture comprehensive contextual information, and features a hidden size of 256 units in its neural architecture.
