Strategies for Language Model Web-Data Collection
Vincent Wan, Thomas Hain · 2006
This paper presents an analysis of the use of textual information collected from the Internet via a search engine for the purpose of building domain specific language models. A framework to analyse the effect of search query formulation on the resulting Web-data language model performance in an evaluation is developed. The framework gives rise to improved methods of selecting n-gram search engine queries, which return documents that make better domain specific language models
