Using a hidden Markov model to perform POS

A hidden Markov model is a statistical technique that has proved to be useful in many areas, including reinforcement learning, speech recognition, and detecting POS. We will use the LingPipe's HiddenMarkovModel class to demonstrate this model. This model will be used with a POS-trained file that we will download.

Getting ready

To prepare, we need to do the following:

1. Create a new Maven project

2. Add the following dependency to the POM file:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/de.julielab/aliasi-lingpipe -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>de.julielab</groupId>
    <artifactId>aliasi-lingpipe</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.0</version&gt...
