Hello, I am fairly new to python and in process of taking a class on Natural Language Processing and the language itself. I would sure appreciate any help at all on this current assignment. I'm having trouble trying to understand how I should start this program or how it all works. The Link to the assignment is: http://faculty.cs.niu.edu/~freedman/csnl/hw3.html
As I have said previously I don't even know how to start. I began looking into the NLTK website notes on NLTK PEC tagging and understand how the tags work. I just dont know exactly what my instructor wants us to go with this assignment. I have never created a FSM. The link to the notes she specifies is here: http://nltk.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/book/ch05.html
Anyway, I will continue trying to seek out other help in the process. Thank You anyone who can help me.
