POS-Tagging and Its Applications

Chapter 1, What is Text Analysis, and Chapter 2, Python Tips for Text Analysis, introduced text analysis and Python, and Chapter 3, spaCy's Language Models, and Chapter 4, Gensim - Vectorizing Text and Transformations and n-grams, helped us set-up our code for more advanced text analysis. This chapter will discuss the first of such advanced techniques – part of speech tagging, popularly called POS-tagging. We will study what parts of speech exist, how to identify them in our documents, and what possible uses these POS-tags have.
