A trainable pipeline component to predict morphological features and
coarse-grained POS tags following the Universal Dependencies
[UPOS ](https://universaldependencies.org/u/pos/index.html ) and
[FEATS ](https://universaldependencies.org/format.html#morphological-annotation )
annotation guidelines. This class is a subclass of `Pipe` and follows the same
2020-07-26 22:29:45 +00:00
API. The pipeline component is available in the
[processing pipeline ](/usage/processing-pipelines ) via the ID `"morphologizer"` .
