Putting the Ghost into Language: Cartesian Echoes in Contemporary French Medical Humanism

PUTTING LANGUAGE INTO LANGUAGE MODELINGy

In this paper we describe the statistical Structured Language Model (SLM) that uses grammatical analysis of the hypothesized sentence segment (prefix) to predict the next word.

We then develop a chart parsing algorithm and with its help a method to compute the predi...
