Some suggest, using higher approximations of the HMM, that it might be possible to mimic the works of great writers such as Shakespeare [Zhang 2001]. By training the HMM with a corpus of the author's text, the HMM could then be used to emit sequences of words that are statistically similar to those from the training corpus .
For the sample application, we'll discuss the implementation of a bigram HMM that can be trained with arbitrary text. The HMM will then be used to generate random sequences of characters .
