Language modelling

 

The language model is used to improve the performance. Different paradigms can be used: finite state syntax,  external NLP module    with a parsing  grammar , an n-gram  (unigram , bigram , trigram ) model, etc.

The language modelling (see Chapter 7) may be tuned by the technology provider with respect to a particular variety of languages. An adaptation to a specific application can help to improve the results, and may or may not be necessary. This tuning may be done by the technology provider or by the application developer. A tool or a formalism that allows data to be entered may be provided and any data that has to be collected by the application developer should be indicated.
