Abstract
A method for locating line breaks in text, carried out by a computer device having a processor and system memory, includes the steps of creating a probabilistic model of a paragraph of text, parameterized by inter-word spacing, and running an inference on the model to find a sequence of line-breaks that maximize the joint probability of line break positions with minimum deviation of inter-word spacing from an ideal value.
