Hi Ken

Is it possible to use more than one language model as input to Julius? Like there is a language model by Keith and another model from the sphinx. So can we use both models as input to Julius if there is a way to input 2 models. Thank

Julius needs ARPA format statistical language model.  

I believe the Sphinx statistical language model is in ARPA format, so you should be able to use it - though I have not tried this... you'll have to try this out yourself.

I know you can use multiple grammar-based language models with Julius, not sure if you can use multiple statistical language models.

I am not sure I understand what this means?

I tried multiple language models as

mkbingram -nlr languagemodel1 -nlr languagemodel2 outfile

Julius takes the languagemodel2 and bulids the outfile.

There are two basic type of language models: grammar based language model (also just called a 'grammar') and statistical language model, usually in ARPA format.

Julius can use more than one grammar, and allow you to switch between them.  But I don't think you can have more than one statistical language model.
