[Ligncse256] Parameter Estimation for HMMs

For programming assignment 2, we are going to create an HMM-based part
of speech tagger. I am planning on using a frequency-based approach to
estimate the parameters of the Markov transition and emission
matrices, along with some special arrangement for previously unseen
words. Is there anything wrong with this approach?

Thanks,
Jacob
