What is NLTK POS tagger asking me to download?

Question

I just started using a part-of-speech tagger, and I am facing many problems.

I started POS tagging with the following:

import nltk
text=nltk.word_to         


        

Answer 1

When you type nltk.download() in Python, an NLTK Downloader interface gets displayed automatically.
Click on Models and choose maxent_treebank_pos_. It gets installed automatically.

import nltk 
text=nltk.word_tokenize("We are going out.Just you and me.")
print nltk.pos_tag(text)
[('We', 'PRP'), ('are', 'VBP'), ('going', 'VBG'), ('out.Just', 'JJ'),
 ('you', 'PRP'), ('and', 'CC'), ('me', 'PRP'), ('.', '.')]
