Module2 Lecture4 HMM

The document discusses POS tagging using Hidden Markov Models (HMM), focusing on state transmission and emission probabilities. It includes an example of tagging the phrase 'free workers' with the tags JJ NNS, illustrating the application of HMM in calculating probabilities. Additionally, it mentions the need for smoothing in probability calculations.

POS Tagging -HMM

(State Transmission
Probability)

(Emission Probability)
NR – Adverbial Noun
Emission Probability * State Transmission Probability
Actual value P(M|V) = 0,
Consider minimum value
for smoothing ie) 1/1000

P(N) > P(V)

Simplify using a decimal value


Exercise
Here, the word sequence “free workers” is tagged with tags JJ NNS to mean that the workers those
work for free. The HMM can be expressed as Bayes network for the given problem of finding the
probability P(free workers, JJ NNS) as follows;
