Abstract. This paper investigates a variety of statistical cache-based language models built upon three corpora: English, Lithuanian, and Lithuanian base forms. The impact of the cache size, type of the decay function, including custom corpus derived functions, and interpolation technique (static vs. dynamic) on the perplexity of a language model is studied. The best results are achieved by models consisting of 3 components: standard 3-gram, decaying cache 1-gram and decaying cache 2-gram that are joined together by means of linear interpolation using the technique of dynamic weight update. Such a model led up to 36 % and 43 % perplexity improvement with respect to the 3-gram baseline for Lithuanian words and Lithuanian word base forms respectively. The best language model of English led up to a 16 % perplexity improvement. This suggests that cache-based modeling is of greater utility for the free word order highly inflected languages.
