CombiTagger
CombiTagger is open source software intended for the development of combined taggers, independent of language and tag sets. The software, which is written in Java, was originally developed as an independent project of MA students Verena Henrich and Timo Reuter at the University of Reykjavik under the guidance of Hrafn Loftsson, during the years 2008-2009.

About CombiTagger
CombiTagger can be used when the outcome of two or more classifiers need to be combined, for instance by voting. CombiTagger has for instance been used to combine the outcome of a particular number (n) of taggers so that the combined tagger returns one tag for each word, for instance the tag that receives the most votes amongst the other n taggers.
