The hyphenation algorithm used by wp- Hyphenate is based on the 1983 Stanford Ph.D. thesis of professor Frank Liang: Word Hy- phen- a- tion by Com- puter. Liang’s PatGen algorithm was updated in 1991 by Peter Breitenlohner. The resulting algorithm finds 90% of all allowed hyphenation points identified in the Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary with a 0% error rate.
