NLTK other language POS tagger

Question

I am using the nltk module in python and i am trying to use this for POS tagging different languages.

There is a lot of information on how to train your own POS tagger in different languages - is there a database of really robust well built and tested NLTK POS taggers for different languages? (It is quite easy to export POS taggers using the pickle module)

Answer 1

You can find robust and well built and tested NLTK Corpora at http://www.nltk.org/nltk_data/

You may find other corporas but these are the best

Answer 2

If it is not strict to using only NLTK, you can try our robust and language-independent POS tagging toolkit RDRPOSTagger.

RDRPOSTagger obtains fast performance in both learning and tagging process. In addition, RDRPOSTagger achieves a very competitive accuracy in comparison to the state-of-the-art results.

Updated 18/11/2015: release version 1.2 with improved tagging accuracy, especially on morphologically rich languages. See experimental results including performance speed and tagging accuracy in this paper.

RDRPOSTagger supports pre-trained POS and morphological tagging models for Bulgarian, Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Thai and Vietnamese. RDRPOSTagger also supports the pre-trained Universal POS tagging models for 40 languages.
