Factored n-grams

[Sarah E. Schwarm]

Here's the paper:
 J. Bilmes and K. Kirchhoff, "Factored Language Models and Generalized 
Parallel Backoff",  Proceedings of HLT/NAACL 2003, Edmonton, Canada, May 
2003 [pdf]
available on this page:
http://ssli.ee.washington.edu/people/katrin/

There's also quite a bit of information about the factored LM extensions 
to SRILM in the final report for the JHU workshop 2002 Novel Speech 
Recognition Models for Arabic group:

Hope this helps!
