| Abstract(in English) | In this paper, we propose a variable-order N-gram that describe training corpus efficiently by limited number of parameters. Starting from POS bigrams, the proposed scheme creates variable-order N-grams by splitting a POS into finer groups and by adding frequent consecutive word sequences as word-classes. This word-class splitting and consecutive word grouping are carried out incrementally by minimizing the total entropy. Experiments showed that the perplexity of the proposed model for the test corpus is lower than conventional trigram and that this model requires quite smaller number of statistical parameters. By applying this model to speech recognition, we get a better recognition rate than conventionalfixed N-grams. |
