Assignment 4 for Ling645/CMSC723, Spring 1999
Assignment 4
This assignment has two parts. One is required,
and the other is optional for a half-assignment's
worth of extra credit.
The due date is March 6.
Required:
- Exploring HMM models.
This assignment does not involve programming. But if you're interested
in algorithms and programming, you might want to take a look at the
source code for the HMM algorithms -- they're really
cleanly implemented.
Optional:
- Implementing language identification using n-grams
This extra-credit assignment does involve programming. The page
includes quite a bit of information that would be useful for people
who don't have a lot of programming experience but want to try it anyway.
