| Challenge: | a recent study examines POS tagging techniques on endangered languages . most natural language processing applications have been tested on only a handful of languages - a problem that is compounded by the lack of standard orthography. |
| Approach: | They evaluate POS tagging techniques on an endangered language, Griko . they use a semi-supervised method with cross-lingual transfer to achieve better accuracy . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method achieves 72.9% accuracy on a sample of 114 narratives in a language . the proposed method improves by 21 percentage points over previous methods . |
