            Brill

Brill's transformational rule-based tagger. Brill taggers use an initial tagger (such as tag.Default) to assign an intial tag sequence to a text; and then apply an ordered list of transformational rules to correct the tags of individual tokens. These transformation rules are specified by the BrillRuleI interface.

Brill taggers can be created directly, from an initial tagger and a list of transformational rules; but more often, Brill taggers are created by learning rules from a training corpus, using either BrillTrainer or FastBrillTrainer.
Method Summary
