Software: Continuous Space Language Model toolkit (CSLM)GitHub: https://git-lium.univ-lemans.fr/barrault/cslmURL: https://git-lium.univ-lemans.fr/barrault/cslm/-/archive/master/cslm-master.tar.gzAuthor(s): Holger SchwenkCSLM toolkit is open-source software which implements the so-called continuous space language model. The basic idea of this approach is to project the word indices onto a continuous space and to use a probability estimator operating on this space. Since the resulting probability functions are […]
