Abstract

This paper focuses on comparison of two continuous space language modeling techniques, namely Tied-Mixture Language modeling (TMLM) and Neural Network Based Language Modeling (NNLM). Additionally, we report on using alternative feature representations for words and histories used in TMLM. Besides bigram co-occurrence based features we consider using NNLM based input features for training TMLMs. We also describe how we improve certain steps in building TMLMs. We demonstrate that TMLMs provide significant improvements of over 16% relative and 10% relative in Character Error Rate (CER) for Mandarin speech recognition, over the trigram and NNLM models, respectively in a speech to speech translation task. ©2010 IEEE.
