Chapter 6 – Social Media Insight Using Naive Bayes

Natural language processing and part-of-speech tagging

The techniques we used in this chapter were quite lightweight compared to some of the linguistic models employed in other areas. For example, part-of-speech tagging can help disambiguate word forms, allowing for higher accuracy. The book that comes with NLTK has a chapter on this (http://www.nltk.org/book/ch05.html). The whole book is well worth reading too.
