As someone who meticulously spells out every word of a text or tweet (although I do allow myself an ironic "lolz" occasionally) I am aware that I may sound like an ancient stick-in-the-mud.
We previously mentioned the Viterbi algorithm as an efficient dynamic programming algorithm for applying an HMM (trained as just mentioned) to the task of assigning a maximum-probability POS tag sequence to the words of a text.
I found this particularly insightful because 1) As a picture book writer I know what it's like to agonize over every single word of a text 2) I find the debate applicable to all children's books, not just translated works and 3) It never occurred to me that these two things (words and spirit) might be mutually exclusive.

One result: By 2009, more than 70 percent of students tested at the end of the first grade "could not read a single word" of a simple text in Portuguese.
44 The transcriptions will subsequently be aggregated and submitted to the LIWC software, which compares each word of a given text to a dictionary arranged into 74 categories (eg, family words, sadness words) and reports total numbers of words and proportions of overall word use falling into the specific word categories.
The set of the x-positions of words in a text line is called L t, and the set of x-positions of fixations in a fixation line is called L f. Fig. 2 Definition of the system of coordinates.
