A Hidden Markov Model-Based Tagging Approach for Arabic Isnads of Hadiths

Algorithm 1

Find Start Probability (π) Array.

(1)	Function Name: FindStartProbabilityArray
(2)	Function Input: Hadith-Annotated file
(3)	Function Output: Start-Probability-Array
(4)	START
(5)	FOR each POI in Hadith-Annotated file
(6)	A = Count Isnads which start with this POI
(7)	B = Total number of Isnads in Hadith-Annotated file
(8)	Start-Probability = (A/B)
(9)	END
