The term independence is used in contrast to subjugation, which refers to a region as a "territory" —subject to the political and military control of an external government.

It dates its independence to 1291; historically it was a confederation, and it has been a federation since 1848, with a current division into 26 cantons or "counties/states".
In Early Modern Switzerland, the conflict between Catholic and Protestant cantons persisted, erupting in further violence at the battles of Villmergen in 1656 and 1712, and the growing authoritarianism of the patriciate families combined with a financial crisis in the wake of the Thirty Years' War led to the Swiss peasant war of 1653.
The Swiss National Independence Day, centered on the Rütli meadow in the center of Switzerland on August 1, is very popular with the Swiss themselves, and this celebration is a festive day across Switzerland, with large and impressive fireworks displays in all the towns, on the lakes, and even remote locations scattered across the mountainsides.

 Independence Day (United States) Summary
Independence Day is commonly associated with parades, barbecues, picnics, baseball games, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States.
Despite the genesis of Independence Day, it is largely uncommon for Americans to express anti-British sentiment on the day or to view it as a celebration of anti-colonialism (it is also unusual to remember the aid given to the Americans by European powers such as France and the Dutch Republic).
Independence Day, as the only holiday celebrating the United States as a whole, is a national holiday marked by patriotic displays.

The methods used for word-sense disambiguation on a larger text cannot successfully be applied to such a domain.
the word plant is disambiguated to refer to a factory by the surrounding words (corporation, business, expenses, manufacturing, factory, etc.) which all point to the current domain of a manufacturing plant.
The same techniques used here to allow disambiguation to be applied to small collocations of words should also be more broadly applicable to other areas of word sense disambiguation where the current methods fail due to a lack of domain-dependence exhibited by the target word.

Given, that the core task of POS tagging is to choose the correct tag for each word in context from a set of possible tags, then if the tagging (or disambiguation) method is efficient, then our parser is more likely to act efficiently, minimising error.
In section 1.3 on statistical independence the basic idea behind POS tagging was explained, yet this method (called the ‘standard unigram baseline method’) was very primitive and chose the interpretation that occurred most frequently in the corpus without taking any context/collocations into account.

In this case, the information is not an independent proposition or a set of propositions which contribute to the inferential activity as part of a reasoning process which works on a premise-conclusion basis.
As a consequence, metaphoric mappings have the effect of creating sets of explicatures which are relatively independent of the assumption to be developed, while explicatures produced by metonymic mappings involve either an expansion or a reduction of the conceptual material which makes up the initial assumption schema.
The generic space, as we have seen, is built independently of the interaction, and the metonymy helps derive the relevant set of explicatures as part of the metaphoric target.

In addition to these assumptions about the measured independencies in the data and the nature of the underlying causal structure, the algorithms are restricted by being purely observational, which leaves them unable to distinguish between causal structures that do not produce distinct independencies in the data.
The algorithms' conclusions range from the determination of definite and direct causal links between variables, to cases in which there must or may be unmeasured common causes explaining causal links, to cases where the direction of causality cannot be determined from the data and maybe also be due to unmeasured common causes.
As implied by that answer, the disambiguation steps are interdependent and thus local mistakes can propagate in the form of misapplications of these criteria.
