Hi Sachin,

You may want to look at the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK), which is a
Python module to help people learn how natural language parsing can work:

    http://nltk.sourceforge.net/


I've only started to look at it a bit, but it looks awesome; there are
Viterbi-style parsers included with the package:

So it may provide a lot of what you're looking for.


Good luck!
