Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| This paper presents a novel method of generating and applying hierarchical, dynamic topic-based lan-guage models. It proposes and evaluates new clus-ter generation, hierarchical smoothing and adaptive topic-probability estimation techniques. These com-bined models help capture long-distance lexical de-pendencies. °Experiments on the Broadcast News corpus show significant improvement in perplexity (10.5 % overall and 33.5 % on target vocabulary). 1 | |||||||||||||||
