Domain adaptation of POS taggers without handcrafted features

Unsupervised domain adaptation is an attractive option when labeled data is lacking for some domain of interest but is available for other domain. Part-of-speech (POS) tagging is often considered a solved task when enough labeled data is available in the domain of interest. However, when considering a domain adaptation scenario, this is far from true. Several approaches have been proposed for domain adaptation of POS taggers, however as far as we know, all of them are based on handcrafted features. In this work, we employ a machine learning method whose input is exclusively composed of the raw text. This method learns word- and character-level representations (embeddings), and has been successfully applied to intra-domain tasks. We show that this method achieves strong performances on the domain adaptation of English and Portuguese POS taggers.
