I\'m doing a Python project in which I\'d like to use the Viterbi Algorithm. Does anyone know of a complete Python implementation of the Viterbi algorithm? The correctness
I found the following code in the example repository of Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach. Is something like this what you're looking for?
def viterbi_segment(text, P):
"""Find the best segmentation of the string of characters, given the
UnigramTextModel P."""
# best[i] = best probability for text[0:i]
# words[i] = best word ending at position i
n = len(text)
words = [''] + list(text)
best = [1.0] + [0.0] * n
## Fill in the vectors best, words via dynamic programming
for i in range(n+1):
for j in range(0, i):
w = text[j:i]
if P[w] * best[i - len(w)] >= best[i]:
best[i] = P[w] * best[i - len(w)]
words[i] = w
## Now recover the sequence of best words
sequence = []; i = len(words)-1
while i > 0:
sequence[0:0] = [words[i]]
i = i - len(words[i])
## Return sequence of best words and overall probability
return sequence, best[-1]
