Similarity-Based Models of Word Cooccurrence Probabilities
Abstract. In many applications of natural language processing (NLP) it is necessary to determine the likelihood of a given word combination. For example, a speech recognizer may ne...

Query expansion using term relationships in language models for information retrieval
Language Modeling (LM) has been successfully applied to Information Retrieval (IR). However, most of the existing LM approaches only rely on term occurrences in documents, queries...

Heuristic Selection for Stochastic Search Optimization: Modeling Solution Quality by Extreme Value Theory
The success of stochastic algorithms is often due to their ability to effectively amplify the performance of search heuristics. This is certainly the case with stochastic sampling ...

Unsupervised Discriminative Language Model Training for Machine Translation using Simulated Confusion Sets
An unsupervised discriminative training procedure is proposed for estimating a language model (LM) for machine translation (MT). An English-to-English synchronous context-free gra...
