Abstract

Information retrieval (IR) has become one of the most popular Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. Part of speech (PoS) parsing and tagging plays an important role in IR systems. A broad range of PoS parsers and taggers tools have been proposed with the aim of helping to find a solution for the information retrieval problems, but most of these are tools based on generic NLP tags which do not capture domain-related information. In this research, we present a domain-specific parsing and tagging approach that uses not only generic PoS tags but also domain-specific PoS tags, grammatical rules, and domain knowledge. Experimental results show that our approach has a good level of accuracy when applying it to different domains.
