HMM automatic vowel detection

[ReneZ]

Thanks for the explanation Marco.

The complication is that, according to the B matrix, the majority of each character is typically generated by the preferred state, while 'some' may be generated by the other state.
One cannot also really compare the absolute values in the B matrix since, overall, one state may be much more prominent than the other (see my previous post).

This is really only a problem for cases like the 'k' you quoted. The fraction 0.01406 is for all state-0 characters and 0.01693 is for all state-1 characters, so if there are many more state-0 characters altogether, k is more likely to belong to state 0.

Not sure if I explained that clearly.
Anyway, it is not really too important.
