Some psychologists crtitcise this approach whenever it is proposed as a potential model for child language acquisition, but it does not detract from its possible use in constructing speech recognition systems. The other two approaches involve prosodic and semantic bootstrapping. For example, if there are n words which could occur as a context for a given word w, then vector representations try to reduce the dimensionality below n.
Taggers are currently wide spread and readily available.
Moreover, taggers have now been developed for a number of different languages. Syntactic categories are then created from symbols which occur in similar contexts, according to the results of clustering these distribution vectors. This is clearly absurd for natural languages such as English, as a great proportion of the words are ambiguous. Up until now we have been concerned with language models based on the trigram predictor. One reason for doing this is that it will allow more accurate statistics to be collected, as several trigrams will be mapped to a single, higher level trigram.
