Hidden Markov Model Tagger for Applications Based Arabic Text: A Review

Abstract

The immense increase in the use of the Arabic Language in transmitting information on the internet makes the Arabic Language a focus of researchers and commercial developers. The developing of an efficient Arabic POS tagger is not an easy task due to the complexity of the Language itself and the challenges of tagging disambiguation and unknown words. This paper aims to explore and review the use of Part of speech Tagger for Arabic text based on Hidden Markov Model. Besides, it is discussed and explored the implementation of POS tagger for different languages. This study examined a group of research papers that applied the Part of Speech to Arabic using the Hidden Markov Model. The results have shown that a large number of researchers achieved high accuracy rates in the classification of parts of speech correctly. Handi and Alshamsi achieved a high accuracy rate of 97.6% and 97.4% respectively. Kadim obtained an average accuracy of 75.38% for a Parallel Hidden Markov Model.
