+# CS101/3 - CS/AI Assignment 3
+
+Assignment 3 is just like Assignment 2 but with words instead of letters.
+
+You may wish to use the Python NLTK (https://www.nltk.org) Natural Language
+Toolkit to help break the text up into tokens (words)
+
+You may adapt the helper functions from Assignment 2 to work with words 
+rather than letters or you may write your own from scratch
+
+Optionally, instead of doing this programming exercise, you may write a
+short essay, no longer than 2000 words on one of the topics that we have
+touched on in the philosophy of mind:
+
+  - Turing's Imitation Game
+  - Dneprov's Game (or, equivalently, Searle's Chinese Room)
+  - Logical Behaviorism or Functionalism
+  - The Engineering End-Run
+
+Assignment 3 is worth 30% in total.

+## 3b conditional word probabilities - 10%
+
+Given an input text and a word, generate the next word according to the
+conditional probabilities in the text,

+## 3c a stochastic parrot - 10%
+
+Given an input text, generate a sentence of a particular length according
+to the conditional word distributions,
