Readme
The Flair English POS tagger is one of the state of the art models that is commonly available.
It’s based upon Flair embeddings and LSTM-CRF.
In my experience, it outperforms SpaCy en_core_web_trf, but this may depend upon your dataset. However, it is slow unless you have a GPU.
Hence, this replicate model.
Please cite the following paper when using this model.
