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 classes of words. We also discuss several statistical algorithms for assigning words to classes based on the frequency of their cooccurrence with other words. We nd that we are able to extract classes that have the avor of either syntactically based groupings or semantically based groupings, depending on the nature of the underlying statistics. 1
