-This is a quick description of the viterbi aka dynamic programing
-algorthm.
-
-Its reason for existence is that wikipedia has become very poor on
-describing algorithms in a way that makes it useable for understanding
-them or anything else actually. It tends now to describe the very same
-algorithm under 50 different names and pages with few understandable
-by even people who fully understand the algorithm and the theory behind.
-
-Problem description: (that is what it can solve)
-assume we have a 2d table, or you could call it a graph or matrix if you
-prefer
-
-    O   O   O   O   O   O   O

-    O   O   O   O   O   O   O

-    O   O   O   O   O   O   O

-    O   O   O   O   O   O   O
-

-That table has edges connecting points from each column to the next column
-and each edge has a score like: (only some edge and scores shown to keep it
-readable)
-
-
-    O--5--O-----O-----O-----O-----O
-     2   / 7   / \   / \   / \   /
-      \ /   \ /   \ /   \ /   \ /
-    O7-/--O--/--O--/--O--/--O--/--O

-Our goal is to find a path from left to right through it which
-minimizes the sum of the score of all edges.
-(and of course left/right is just a convention here it could be top down too)
-Similarly the minimum could be the maximum by just fliping the sign,
-Example of a path with scores:
-
-    O   O   O   O   O   O   O
-
->---O.  O   O  .O-2-O   O   O
-      5.     .7      .
-    O   O-1-O   O   O 8 O   O
-                       .
-    O   O   O   O   O   O-1-O---> (sum here is 24)

-The viterbi algorthm now solves this simply column by column
-For the previous column each point has a best path and a associated
-score:
-
-    O-----5     O
-     \
-      \
-    O  \  1     O
-        \/
-        /\
-    O  /  2     O
-      /
-     /
-    O-----2     O
-
-
-To move one column forward we just need to find the best path and associated
-scores for the next column
-here are some edges we could choose from:
-
-
-    O-----5--3--O
-     \      \8
-      \       \
-    O  \  1--9--O
-        \/  \3
-        /\     \
-    O  /  2--1--O
-      /     \2
-     /        \
-    O-----2--4--O
-
-Finding the new best paths and scores for each point of our new column is
-trivial given we know the previous column best paths and scores:
-
-    O-----0-----8
-     \
-      \
-    O  \  0----10
-        \/
-        /\
-    O  /  0-----3
-      /     \
-     /        \
-    O     0     4
-
-
-the viterbi algorthm continues exactly like this column for column until the
-end and then just picks the path with the best score (above that would be the
-one with score 3)
