Earlier probabilistic models, such as the standard P-CFG, condition each rule choice on very little context. The authors propose History-based Grammars (HBG), a generative model in which the probability of expanding each node may depend on anything already built in… ## Co-authors here 4 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Ezra Black](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ezra-black/) - [Fred Jelinek](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/fred-jelinek/) - [Robert Mercer](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/robert-mercer/) - [Salim Roukos](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/salim-roukos/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/) ×2: [ACL 1995](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/1995/), [ACL 1993](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/1993/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 231 times (of the 141,840 papers whose bibliographies we read); [37 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/david-m-magerman/cited-by/).
