Summary:Statistical language models estimate the distribution of various
natural language phenomena for the purpose of speech recognition and
other language technologies. Since the first significant model was
proposed in 1980, many attempts have been made to improve the state of
the art. We review them, point to a few promising directions, and argue
for a Bayesian approach to integration of linguistic theories with data
