Sklearn has an amazing array of hmm implementations, and because the library is very heavily used, odds are you can find tutorials and other stackoverflow comments about it, so definitely a good start. Nltk is a leading platform for building python programs to work with human language data. Part of speech tagging pos is a process of tagging sentences with part of speech such as nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, etc hidden markov models hmm is a simple concept which can explain most complicated real time processes such as speech recognition and speech generation, machine translation, gene recognition for bioinformatics, and human gesture recognition for computer. If you havent installed anaconda, make sure you have installed nltk the natural language toolkit to work with your installation of python. Given a sentence or paragraph, it can label words such as verbs, nouns and so on. Partofspeech tagging also known as word classes or lexical categories. A featureset is a dictionary that maps from feature names to feature values.
Thus the final tag is calculated by checking the highest probability of a word with a particular tag. Most of them are pretty straightforward, however i found using the hidden markov model tagger a little tricky. For previously unseen words, it outputs the tag that is most frequent in general. The data set comprises of the penn treebank dataset which is included in the nltk package.

Further, the tagger requires a parameter file which specifies a number of necessary parameters for tagging procedure see section 3. Jan hajic lecture on hmm models introduces the basic concepts of hmm models. For this reason, knowing that a sequence of output observations was generated by a given hmm does not mean that the corresponding sequence of states and what the current state is is known.
Ive got a working piece of code that trains the model using 90% of the penntreebank corpus and tests the accuracy against the remaining 10%.
