Summary
This Paper originated during mid-nineties when there was increasing interest in hidden markov models for the determining POS Tagging. It built on the work done at Xerox on supervised learning. It analysed the effect of the Baum-Welch over the quality of annotations of the data.
The paper discusses two experiments -
1. Effect of initial conditions on Baum-Welch re-estimation 2. Study the behavior of Baum-Welch on a given data.
