Abstract(in English) | In this paper, we propose a language model using stochastic context free grammar (SCFG) for speech recognition. To train an SCFG, inside-outside (I/O) algorithm is used. We modified I/O algorithm to treat with dependency grammar. To express dependency grammar, two categories of word are introduced : functional words (particle, auxiliary, suffix, etc.) and content words (noun, verb, adjective, etc.). Using dependency grammar, training time is reduced from the cube of number of nonterminal symbols to the square of it. We carried out an experiment to compare the proposed method with two conventional methods : the trigram model and the original SCFG model. We obtained significant reduction of training time compared with the original SCFG. The perplexity of the proposed model was smaller than other two models. Furthermore, we researched initial values to reduce training time andimprove performance. |
