University of Macau
CISC7021 - Applied Natural Language Processing
Assignment 1, 2023/2024
(Due date: 26 September 2023)
Introduction
In this assignment, we will prepare -gram language models and evaluate the test set's
perplexity. We will learn how to create a language model using the language model
toolkit SRILM 1 (Stolcke, 2002). The toolkit can be downloaded at:
http://www.speech.sri.com/projects/srilm/download.html. Basic instructions on using
the SRILM toolkit can be found on the website also.
Train and Test Data
The training and testing data for this assignment come from the News Commentary,
which is created to be used for training the English language model. The training data
consists of 300 thousand lines of text. While the testing set consists of around 90
thousand lines of text. The data corpora are from the official website of Shared Task:
Machine Translation of News.
2 Both the training and testing data can be downloaded
from UMMoodle.
Tasks
1. Build word-based language models, 1-gram, 2-gram, and 3-gram, for English text
given the training data, and measure the perplexity on the training and testing set.
2. Build character-based language models, 1-gram to 6-gram, using the training data
and measuring the perplexity of the training and test set.
3. Collect more monolingual data from the First Conference on Machine Translation
(WMT16) and add them to the training data. Build language models and measure
the perplexity.
Environment Setup
We require all the related (development) tools for course assignments and projects are
Linux/Unix programs. You need to have a Linux platform for conducting experiments
and system implementation. Using a virtual machine (i.e. WM Virtual Box -
https://www.virtualbox.org/) to host a Linux system (i.e. Ubuntu -
http://www.ubuntu.com/) will be a good choice. We strongly recommend this. Besides,
you will use different toolkits for various (pre)processing tasks in the coursework. For
example, you need a g++ compiler for compiling the SRILM toolkit in this assignment.

2 http://www.statmt.org/wmt16/translation-task.html
In any way, there are documents for using the toolkit. If you are new to processing text
on the Linux platform, there is a very good introduction given by Church (1994)3 of
using Unix commands for basic text processing.
Report
You need to submit a report of your work (2~3 pages). It should clearly present what is
going on in your experiments, how you achieve them, and solve problems you
encountered. You should include tables (or graphs) of the data (e.g. corpora statistics),
evaluated perplexities, etc. of your models. I am particularly interested to see the
conclusions you draw about the models you made and the data you collected, as well
as the analysis of the obtained results. The report should follow the two-column format
of the ACL proceeding.
