Training Googles SyntaxNet to understand Norwegian Bokmål and Nynorsk (short paper)

Abstract

We use Google’s open source neural network framework, SyntaxNet, to train a fully automatic part-of-speech language tagger for Norwegian Bokmål and Nynorsk. Using SyntaxNet, we are able to get comparable results with other tagger when tagging Bokmål and Nynorsk with part-of-speech. Both taggers are available and released as open source.
