Fast Syntactic Analysis for Statistical Language Modeling via Substructure Sharing and Uptraining
Long-span features, such as syntax, can improve language models for tasks such as speech recognition and machine translation. However, these language models can be difficult to u...

Supervised language modeling for temporal resolution of texts
We investigate temporal resolution of documents, such as determining the date of publication of a story based on its text. We describe and evaluate a model that build histograms e...

Focusing on novelty: a crawling strategy to build diverse language models
Word prediction performed by language models has an important role in many tasks as e.g. word sense disambiguation, speech recognition, hand-writing recognition, query spelling an...

Enhancing Language Models in Statistical Machine Translation with Backward N-grams and Mutual Information Triggers
In this paper, with a belief that a language model that embraces a larger context provides better prediction ability, we present two extensions to standard n-gram language models ...

Exploiting sparseness of backing-off language models for efficient look-ahead in LVCSR
In this paper, we propose a new method for computing and applying language model look-ahead in a dynamic network decoder, exploiting the sparseness of backing-off n-gram language ...

Hierarchical Bayesian Language Models for Conversational Speech Recognition
Traditional n-gram language models are widely used in state-of-the-art large vocabulary speech recognition systems. This simple model suffers from some limitations, such as overfi...

Recurrent HMMs and Cursive Handwriting Recognition Graphs
Standard cursive handwriting recognition is based on a language model, mostly a lexicon of possible word hypotheses or character n-grams. The result is a list of word alternatives...
