## Papers

1. **[The LinGO Redwoods Treebank: Motivation and Preliminary Applications](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/bank-2002-oepen-lingo-redwoods-treebank-motivation-preliminary/)** *(2002)* The paper proposes a treebank that stores full HPSG analyses from a broad-coverage grammar (the LinGO English Resource Grammar) instead of one fixed tree format, so that users can extract the representation they need.
2. **[TnT – A Statistical Part-of-Speech Tagger](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/brants-2000-tnt-statistical-part-speech-tagger/)** *(2000)* `measured` TnT ("Trigrams'n'Tags") shows that a carefully engineered second-order hidden Markov model is as accurate as more complex taggers of its time.
