My current project is working with HMMs for POS tagging and for CCG 
supertagging, focused on doing research on online and interactive 
algorithms. I started the project because the CCG supertaggers available 
(C&C Tools; OpenCCG) are too integrated in their own projects to 
facilitate doing my kind of research, and also because the current 
standard for HMM tagging (TnT) is closed source. So the goal (as a 
Haskell library) is to make it as openly reusable as possible.

I've been meaning to polish things up enough to make it public, but I've 
been too busy with the research side of things to polish off the 
embarrassingly rough spots. We're hoping to get a paper out about it 
this winter/spring, and I should have the time to make an actual release 
over the winter break. Whenever that happens I'll send an update to the 
list.
