Part-of-speech tagging of Kazakh text via LSTM network with a bidirectional modifier

Abstract

In this paper, part-of-speech tagging on Kazakh text has been implemented using an LSTM neural network with a bidirectional modifier. A quite simple and fast tagger has been built, tested and evaluated on the self-collected dataset of Kazakh sentences with an accuracy of 94 %. There was addressed basically the problem of tagging having a small number of training samples (around 100 Kazakh sentences). It has been shown that quite good accuracy can be achieved in this situation.
