Hi List,
i m looking for some suggestions and opinions for my task. The situation is
this:
In an online survey approx. 800 participants were asked a open text question like
"What do you associate with our brand?". Participants can then enter 5
associations. Eg.
- nature
- beautifull mountains
- relax
- family friendly
- very good service
Now i just want to run the openNLP Post tagger over all associations. I suppose
that i can use one association just as one sentence. Instead of the english
model, i used the de-maxent.bin model and some german answers. But the tags are
somehow wrong. Eg.
sonne -> KON
familie -> ART (it is a noun, definitely not an aricle)
Am I on a wrong path? Should i handle my data differently? Or should i download
an other model? Where can i get trainingdata ??
So many questions.. sorry.. but every hint appreciated,
best,
Daniel
I'm pretty sure the model was trained on complete sentences. The
tagging takes context into account, and will not work properly
without it. So just running it on a couple of words at a time
will not work.
If all your associations are NPs like your example,
you can maybe fix things by always prefixing "I like the ". In
German, maybe "Ich liebe ".
HTH,
