The latest version of SRILM implements deleted interpolation as part 
of the "count-LM" LM class.  Look up the -count-lm option in both the
ngram-count and the ngram man pages.
Then look at $SRILM/test/tests/ngram-count-lm/run-test for an example
of how it all fits together.

Deleted interpolation is not typically as good as other schemes such 
as modified Kneser Ney smoothing, but has some practical advantages 
(efficient memory implementation) when applied to very large count sets.
