This algorithm can be used to align two POS tagsets of different languages or the same language. We evaluate its usefulness using POS tagsets of two languages: Tamil and Sinhala. The proposed approach shows that manual effort in prior approaches is drastically reduced due to the proposed algorithm and eliminates the need to create new POS tagsets.]]></p></abstract>
