Abstract
We address the problem of predicting a word from previous words in a sample of text. In particular we discuss n-gram models based on calsses of words. We also discuss several statistical algoirthms for assigning words to classes based on the frequency of their co-occurrence with other words. We find that we are able to extract classes that have the flavor of either syntactically based groupings or semantically based groupings, depending on the nature of the underlying statistics.
