Abstract

We present an application of the ECGI algorithm to the learning of a language model for Speech Recognition. Results are given on a real dialogue corpus. Integrating this technique in a Speech Recognizer is discussed.

This research is supported by France-Telecom (CNET) under the contract 97-1B-004
