Morphological Analysis for Russian: Integration and Comparison of Taggers

In this paper we present a comparison of three morphological taggers for Russian with regard to the quality of morphological disambiguation performed by these taggers. We test the quality of the analysis in three different ways: lemmatization, POS-tagging and assigning full morphological tags. We analyze the mistakes made by the taggers, outline their strengths and weaknesses, and present a possible way to improve the quality of morphological analysis for Russian.
