POS Tagging XML with xGrid
and the Stanford Log-linear
Part-Of-Speech Tagger |
|
Abstract:
Posted by Matthew L. Jockers at Stanford University, this is a how-to webpage, describing the use of xGrid, to speed up the computing time of a part-of-speech tagging project. It gives four very practical examples of how HPC can be used to increase productivity in humanities research.
