This fixes an issue where
nltk.pos_tag()internally triggers aLookupErrordue to attempting to load the non-existent resourceaveraged_perceptron_tagger_eng. The fix avoids this by directly usingPerceptronTagger()without thelang='eng'parameter, and re-instantiates it after downloading the tagger model if necessary. Verified in Google Colab, this resolves the common synonym augmentation crash encountered by many users when usingnlpaugwith WordNet-based augmenters. The change is backward-compatible with existing usage.
