REPORT siivola-COM-00-02/IDIAP Language modeling based on neural clustering of words Siivola, Vesa EXTERNAL http://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/2000/com00-02.pdf PUBLIC Idiap-Com-02-2000 2000 IDIAP This document describes a neural method for clustering words and its use in language modeling for speech recognizers. The method is based on clustering the words which appear on similar local context and estimating the parameters needed for language modeling based on these clusters. The language model used is similar to the traditional n-grams.
