I do suggest one fix and one feat to the back off smoothing references in Step4.

Fix

Updating the chapter references in step 4

The Chapters references mentioned (4,9,10) refer to the second edition of the Speech and Language Processing textbook, while the provided link, refers to the current edition, the 3rd edition, which have been restructured.

In the third edition, as of December 30, 2020 draft release, the following changes have been amended by the authors:

  • Chapter 4 of the 2nd ed. is now Chapter 3 of the 3rd ed.
  • Chapter 9 of the 2nd ed. is now Chapter 26 of the 3rd ed.
  • Chapter 10 of the 2nd ed. content have been discarded.
