  1. Towards History-based Grammars: Using Richer Models for Probabilistic Parsing (1993 · 211 citations)
    The paper addresses structural ambiguity in parsing. Earlier probabilistic models, such as the standard P-CFG, condition each rule choice on very little context. The authors propose History-based Grammars (HBG), a generative model in which the probability of expanding each node may depend on anything already built in…
  2. Computation of the Probability of Initial Substring Generation by Stochastic Context-Free Grammars (1991 · 150 citations)
    Speech recognizers need a language model that predicts the next word from the words already heard. If that model is a stochastic context-free grammar (SCFG), the recognizer must know the probability that the grammar produces a sentence beginning with a given word sequence, not just the probability of a complete…
