0100,0100,0100{ SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1}In December I asked the same question about German Taggers that 0000,0000,8000Veronika Koller
asked about today. I admit to my disgrace that I did not get around to sharing the
information as promised (end of the semester, Christmas, Olympics, etc.) so now I have
a motivation to do so. I’ll just cut and paste (and edit) the responses. Randall Jones

An earlier version of QTAG used to have a resource file for German -
perhaps the author (Oliver Mason) could give you an upadated pointer for
that

There is one available at our institute. It is based on probabilistic
methods (a HMM-model). You can have a look at it on

You might contact Prof. Dr. Wolf Paprotte (0000,8000,0000wolfp@marley.uni-muenster.de)
to get more information.

I would be happy to provide TnT. Please have a look at
0000,8000,0000http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/~thorsten/tnt/
TnT is trainable on different languages and tagsets. It comes with
a pre-compiled language model for German (among others).

Conexor (www.conexor.fi) has an online demo of a German tagger.

If you provide us with a tokenlist one token (wordform or punctuation
mark) per line. We can tag it for you with our morphological analysis
system DMM, that provides not only a tag but also a complete
morphosyntactic category. An alternative would be the Tree-Tagger by Helmut Schmid
which assigns tags of the Stuttgart-Tübingen-Tagset.

I happen to be the author of a tagger considered by those which have exercised it as
the best for German . It is currently licensed in Germany for nearly two years . On top of
it I have built a
parser which , judging by the statements of my Western interlocutors, would be at the
same level . Coincidently it is currently in the process of licensing at the University of
Zuerich , just mentioned by you ( Prof. Michael Hess ) . If you are interested in an
academic license below the
price of the market , I can send a demo for Linux . The parser is statistic , i.e. easily
adaptable to other languages - at present there is also a version for English .

Besides the Brill tagger you mention, here are the ones I know about for German:

I'm not sure whether these have been implemented for
(or trained on or adapted for) German, but it should
be possible:
