Why does the Synopse hyphenation code give different results from TeX's?

Question

This question follows previous question but different. Synopse\'s delphi hyphenation is very fast and builts on OpenOffice libhnj library that uses TeX hyphenation.

Answer 1

In short, I believe the reason that the difference in accuracy is so great between what was reported in our SPIRE 2009 paper and the results being reported here is because we trained the method instead of using patterns generated through prior training (which, from what I can gather, is what you are doing here).

How we performed training to obtain our patterns is described briefly on the third page of our paper (pg.176) and in more detail in Section 4.3 of my thesis which you can find here: http://web.cs.dal.ca/~adsett/Adsett_SyllAlgs_2008.pdf
