Lecture 3 exercise return box (HMM and Viterbi) Tehtävä
Please type or upload your answer here, e.g. as a photo, text or pdf file and earn a lecture activity point.
Discuss with each other in breakout rooms and propose answers for these 3 questions:
1. Finish the POS tagging by Viterbi search example by hand.
- Return the values of the boxes and the final tag sequence. Either take a photo of your drawing, fill in the given ppt, or just type the values into the text box
2. Did everyone get the same tags? Is the result correct? Why / why not?
3. What are the pros and cons of HMM tagger?
