3. 1. Introduction • Statistical language modeling: • Predict the next word in textual data • Special language domain: • Sentence must be described by parse trees • Morphology of words, syntax and semantics • There are some significant progress in language model • Measure by ability of models to better predict sequential data 3
4. 2. Model Description • Simple Recurrent Neural Network • Optimization 4
5. 2.1 Simple Recurrent Neural Network 5
6. 2.1 Simple Recurrent Neural Network 6 • Networks are trained in several epochs • Weights are initialized to small values • Train network by standard backpropagation algorithm with stochastic gradient descent • Error vector:
7. 2.2 Optimization 7 • Word-probabilities:
8. 3. Experiments • Wall Street Journal (WSJ) Experiments • NIST Rich Transcription Evaluation 2005 (RT05) Experiments 8
9. 3.1 WSJ Experiments • Training corpus • 37M words from NYT section of English Gigaword • Training 6.4M words (300K sentences) • Perplexity evaluated on 230K words • Kneser-Ney smoothed 5-gram as KN5 • RNN 90/2 • Hidden layer size is 90 • Threshold for merging words to rare token is 2 9
10. 3.1 WSJ Experiments 10
11. 3.1 WSJ Experiments 11
12. 3.1 WSJ Experiments 12
13. 3. NIST RT05 Experiments 13
14. Conclusion and future work • In WSJ, WER • Around 18% with the same data • Around 12% when backoff model is trained with data 5 times than RNN model • NIST RT05 can outperform big backoff models 14 Vietnamese Morphological Analysis 2017/05/17
