# Sequence Tagging

This demo is a sequence model for assigning tags to each token in a sentence. The task is described at <a href = "http://www.cnts.ua.ac.be/conll2000/chunking">CONLL2000 Text Chunking</a> task.

## Download data
```bash
cd demo/sequence_tagging
./data/get_data.sh
```

## Train model
```bash
cd demo/sequence_tagging
./train.sh
```

## Model description

We provide two models. One is a linear CRF model (linear_crf.py) with is equivalent to the one at <a href="http://leon.bottou.org/projects/sgd#stochastic_gradient_crfs">leon.bottou.org/projects/sgd</a>. The second one is a stacked bidirectional RNN and CRF model (rnn_crf.py).
