Abstract
Many practical applications such as automatic speech recognition, statistical
machine translation, spelling correction resort to variants of the well established
source-channel model for producing the correct string of words W given an input
speech signal, sentence in foreign language, or typed text with possible mistakes,
respectively. A basic component of such systems is a statistical language model
which estimates the prior probability values for strings of words W.
