Dear netters,

I'm now evaluating several POS taggers for English and some other
European languages.

I'd like to know if there are any guidelines or approaches to evaluate
the performance of a POS tagger, and comparsions among POS taggers, such as
accuracy.

Any recommendations are welcome. I'll post a summary later.

Thank you in advance,
