Our initial experiments with an existing English POS tagger employing two different POS tagsets and an unsupervised POS induction technique specifically adapted for queries show that POS information can significantly improve query segmentation performance in all these cases.}, publisher = {ACM - Association for Computing Machinery}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/improving-unsupervised-query-segmentation-using-parts-of-speech-sequence-information/}, pages = {935-938}, edition = {Proceedings of the 37th Annual ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development on Information Retrieval (SIGIR '14)}, }
