Deletions

A deletion-only DF model was trained on 1.4 million words of DF-annotated transcripts. In order to perform an analysis by DF type and position, the models were tested on 17,800 words of similarly annotated data.gif Only sentence and one-word deletions are reported in Table 4, since the test data contained only a single two-word deletion. The second row for ``DEL model'' gives the perplexity based only on the word following a deletion, without including the probability for the deletion event itself. This shows that the context modification has the intended effect of making the next word more likely on average.
