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… 2. **[Computation of the Probability of Initial Substring Generation by Stochastic Context-Free Grammars](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/jelinek-1991-computation-probability-initial-substring-generation/)** *(1991 · 150 citations)* Speech recognizers need a language model that predicts the next word from the words already heard. If that model is a stochastic context-free grammar (SCFG), the recognizer must know the probability that the grammar produces a sentence beginning with a given word sequence, not just the probability of a complete… ## Co-authors here 5 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [David M.
