Can't work. The forbid rules are not rules, per se, they just insert a number approaching 0 as the probability of that bigram (which is P(w2|w1), while you're talking about P(w1|w2)... FWIW, in the cs-pl draft, I'd put something along the lines of 'the Markov assumption that a word can be disambiguated solely in terms of left context does not always hold true', but I was told that was a 'bold statement' and left it out). -- <Leftmost> jimregan, that's because deep inside you, you are evil. <Leftmost> Also not-so-deep inside you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
