Hi,<br><br>I don't get exactly what you dislike in the debugging info that you get with the "-debug 2" option but I would add "-numclasses" option. If it is zero, then class merging is supressed altogether, as it is stated in the manual on ngram-class. May be then you will get the output you expect.<br><br><b><i>Martha Yifiru <marthayifiru@yahoo.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Hi all,<br><br>Is there a tutorial or introduction on how to develop a class-based (where classes are induced automatically by ngram-class) language model? I thought that ngram-class is used to induce classes automatically and then the language model training and evaluation follow using ngram-count and ngram, respectively. Thus used the following command:<br> <br> ngram-class -debug 2 -text textfile.txt -class-counts classcount_file
-classes input_to_ngram<br><br>But the result is not similar with my expectation. It was giving me even perplexity values.<br><br>Would you please give me some ideas on how to develop class-based language model?<br><br>Waiting from you, I remain.<br>Martha.<br><br><br>_______________________________________<br>Address:<br><br>Martha Yifiru Tachbelie<br>Sedanstrasse 24<br>20146 Hamburg<br>Germany<br>Tel. +49 40 52721540<div> </div><hr size="1">Do you Yahoo!?<br> Everyone is raving about the <a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=42297/*http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/mailbeta"> all-new Yahoo!
