Wh. Tsai et Ww. Chang, Chinese dialect identification based on genetic algorithm for discriminative training of bigram model, IEICE T INF, E83D(12), 2000, pp. 2183-2185
A minimum classification error formulation based on genetic algorithm is pr
oposed for discriminative training of the bigram language model. Results of
Chinese dialect identification were reported which demonstrate performance
improvement with use of the genetic algorithm over the generalized probabi
listic descent algorithm.
