# Swiss German Part-of-Speech Tagging Model
The **swiss_german_pos_model** is a part-of-speech tagging model for Swiss German. The model is trained on [Universal POS tags (upos)](https://universaldependencies.org/u/pos/).
### Training procedure and data sets
1) Base model: German LM: [dbmdz/bert-base-german-cased](https://huggingface.co/dbmdz/bert-base-german-cased)
2) Continued LM training with [swisscrawl data](https://icosys.ch/swisscrawl)
3) Task fine-tuning on the [UD\_German-HDT](https://github.com/UniversalDependencies/UD_German-HDT/tree/master) data set with [character-level noise](https://aclanthology.org/2022.findings-acl.321/)
4) Task fine-tuning on the Swiss German [NOAH-Corpus](https://noe-eva.github.io/NOAH-Corpus/) (train + dev split)
- Accuracy on Swiss German NOAH test split: 0.9587
- Accuracy on German UD_German-HDT test set after GSW fine-tuning: 0.9553 (vs. 0.9814 at step 3 before GSW fine-tuning)
### Usage
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification, pipeline
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("noeminaepli/swiss_german_pos_model")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("noeminaepli/swiss_german_pos_model")
pos_tagger = pipeline('ner', model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, aggregation_strategy="simple")
tokens = pos_tagger("Worum söu mes ned chönne?")
```
Output:

abstract = "Cross-lingual transfer between a high-resource language and its dialects or closely related language varieties should be facilitated by their similarity. However, current approaches that operate in the embedding space do not take surface similarity into account. This work presents a simple yet effective strategy to improve cross-lingual transfer between closely related varieties. We propose to augment the data of the high-resource source language with character-level noise to make the model more robust towards spelling variations. Our strategy shows consistent improvements over several languages and tasks: Zero-shot transfer of POS tagging and topic identification between language varieties from the Finnic, West and North Germanic, and Western Romance language branches. Our work provides evidence for the usefulness of simple surface-level noise in improving transfer between language varieties.",
