1. **[Estimation of Conditional Probabilities With Decision Trees and an Application to Fine-Grained POS Tagging](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/schmid-2008-estimation-conditional-probabilities-decision-trees/)** *(2008 · 254 citations)* The paper tackles HMM part-of-speech tagging with very large, morphologically detailed tagsets, such as the Tiger treebank tagset for German (over 700 tags) and the Czech Academic Corpus tagset (about 1200 tags).
