posted on 2004-09-01, 00:00 authored by Roni RosenfeldStatistical Language Models estimate the distribution of
various natural language phenomena for the purpose of speech
recognition and other language technologies. Since the first
significant model was proposed in 1980, many attempts have
been made to improve the state of the art. We review them
here, point to a few promising directions, and argue for a
Bayesian approach to integration of linguistic theories with
data.
