Generation of ideas on-line (don't know how useful this will be):
1. If there is a dictionary of words with stresses then the problem is simple, even if it is small, probably 10000 entries of the most common words will be enough. 2. If no such dictionary is available one can write a program that learns the stresses: given a poem and a meter as an input it generates such a dictionary itself (pick Eugene Onegin for ex.). In cases where ambiguities happen (the same word marked differently) it may stop and ask. After a small dictionary of stresses is available and with a small set of meters known to the program, it can start making "intelligent" guesses about the meters of the new poems under your guidance. 3.Don't know how well it will work for XX century poets, its an interesting topic of research.
