ON APPLICABILITY OF RECURRENT NEURAL NETWORKS TO LANGUAGE MODELLING FOR INFLECTIVE LANGUAGES

Mikhail Sergeevich Kudinov

Abstract


Standard version of recurrent neural network language model (RNNLM) has shown modest results in language modelling of Russian. In this paper we present a special modification of RNNLM making separate predictions of lemmas and morphology. New model shows superior results compared to Knesser-Ney language model both in perplexity and in ranking experiment. At the same time morphology integration has not shown any improvement.
