[PDF] Top 20 Finite State Transducers in Language and Speech Processing

... We give a specific study of string-to-weight transducers, including algorithms for determinizing and minimizing these transducers very efficiently, and characterizations of the transduce[r] ... See full document

... We compare a language model built on multiple seg- mentations as determined by the FSMs described above to two baseline models. We call our exper- imental model FSM-LM; the baseline models use word-based n-grams ... See full document
