# POS tagger based on SlovakBERT

This is a POS tagger based on [SlovakBERT](https://huggingface.co/gerulata/slovakbert). The model uses [Universal POS tagset (UPOS)](https://universaldependencies.org/u/pos/). The model was fine-tuned using Slovak part of [Universal Dependencies dataset](https://universaldependencies.org/) [Zeman 2017] containing 10k manually annotated Slovak sentences.

## Results

The model was evaluated in [our paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.15254) [Pikuliak et al 2021, Section 4.2]. It achieves \\(97.84\%\\) accuracy.

We evaluate our model on several NLP tasks and achieve state-of-the-art results. This evaluation is likewise the first attempt to establish a benchmark for Slovak language models. We publish the masked language model, as well as the fine-tuned models for part-of-speech tagging, sentiment analysis and semantic textual similarity.",
