ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for a language model and language recognition systems are disclosed. The method utilizes a plurality of probabilistic finite state machines having the ability to recognize a pair of sequences, one sequence scanned leftwards, the other scanned rightwards. Each word in the lexicon of the language model is associated with one or more such machines which model the semantic relations between the word and other words. Machine transitions create phrases from a set of word string hypotheses, and incrementally calculate costs related to the probability that such phrases represent the language to be recognized. The cascading lexical head machines utilized in the methods and apparatus capture the structural associations implicit in the hierachical organization of a sentence, resulting in a language model and language recognition systems that combine the lexical sensitivity of N-gram models with the structural properties of dependency grammar.
