      <br>
      <br>
      Should one surround the sentences in the sentences file for
      ngram's '-ppl' with <s> sos and </s> eos tokens? They
      are in the LM.
      <br>
      <br>
      I have tested it just now, and it seems that the sentence boundary
      markers are inferred by ngram when left out, and adopted when put
      in. Where is this documented?

    In the <a
      href="http://www.speech.sri.com/projects/srilm/manpages/ngram.1.html">man
      page</a>.  The relevant options are<br>
    <br>
           -no-sos<br>
                  Disable the automatic insertion of start-of-sentence
    tokens for sentence probability computation.   The<br>
                  probability of the initial word is thus computed with
    an empty context.<br>
    <br>
           -no-eos<br>
                  Disable  the  automatic insertion of end-of-sentence
    tokens for sentence probability computation.  End-<br>
                  of-sentence is thus excluded from the total
    probability.<br>
