Text Processing

LM development

Domain specific LM

• LM2.1

• mix the sougou2T-lm,kn-discount continue
• train a large lm using 25w-dict.(hanzhenglong/wxx)

• find the problem in asr result
• the model will finish (Tuesday)

tag LM

• Tag Lm

• tag Probability should test add the weight(hanzhenglong) and handover to hanzhenglong ("this month")
• run a tag demo(this week)

• paper

• paper submit this week.

• similar word extension in FST

• find similarity word using word2vec,word vector is training.
• set the weight for word
• set a proper test set
• write a draft of a paper

RNN LM

• rnn

• test wer RNNLM on Chinese data from jietong-data
• generate the ngram model from rnnlm and test the ppl with different size txt.

• lstm+rnn

• check the lstm-rnnlm code about how to Initialize and update learning rate.(hold)

Word2Vector

W2V based doc classification
