Language model for Cyrillic Mongolian to traditional Mongolian conversion

Abstract

Traditional Mongolian and Cyrillic Mongolian are both Mongolian languages that are respectively used in china and Mongolia. With similar oral pronunciation, their writing forms are totally different. A large part of Cyrillic Mongolian words have more than one corresponds in Traditional Mongolian. This makes the conversion from Cyrillic Mongolian to Traditional Mongolian a hard problem. To overcome this difficulty, this paper proposed a Language model based approach, which takes the advantage of context information. Experimental results show that, for Cyrillic Mongolian words that have multiple correspondence in Traditional Mongolian, the correct rate of this approach reaches 87.66%, thereby greatly improve the overall system performance. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
