Putting Some Language Back Into Language Modelling
- 👤 Speaker: Carl Scheffler (University of Cambridge)

Abstract
This is a follow-up of a talk that I gave a few weeks ago . The first half of the talk will cover some improvements that turned a Hierarchical Dirichlet language model with fairly poor predictive performance into a state-of-the-art model. The second part of the talk will be about a new Bayesian language model that combines prior knowledge about English syntax with a semantic (topic) model into a predictive text entry system, which will be demo’ed during the talk.
Series This talk is part of the Inference Group series.
