Abstract: There are several ways of estimating parameters for HMMs when used for natural
language models. One can use word-n-grams and n-grams of automatically derived
categories for speech recognition. Or one can use part-of-speech n-grams for part-ofspeech
tagging, either by using a manually tagged corpus or by using the Baum-Welch
algorithm. This paper shows how to use another method for parameter estimation:
Model Merging. It exploits the advantages of the other methods, is applicable both
for speech ... (Update)
