Compiling Language Models from a Linguistically Motivated Unification Grammar
<|reference_start|>Compiling Language Models from a Linguistically Motivated Unification Grammar: Systems now exist which are able to compile unification grammars into language models that can be included in a speech recognizer, but it is so far unclear whether non-trivial linguistically principled grammars can be used for this purpose. We describe a series of experiments which investigate the question empirically, by incrementally constructing a grammar and discovering what problems emerge when successively larger versions are compiled into finite state graph representations and used as language models for a medium-vocabulary recognition task.<|reference_end|>
