Recurrent neural network based language models with variation in net topology, language, and granularity
In this paper, we study language models based on recurrent neural networks on three databases in two languages. We implement basic recurrent neural networks (RNN) and refined RNNs with long short term memory (LSTM) cells. We use the corpora of Penn Tree Bank (PTB) and AMI in English, and the Academia Sinica Balanced Corpus (ASBC) in Chinese. On ASBC, we investigate word based and character based language models. For character based language models, we look into the cases where the inter word space is treated or not treated as a token. In summary, we report and comment on the performance of RNN language models with different databases, network topology, language, and granularity.
