5. CONCLUDING REMARKS
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have proposed using auton,aticaliy discovered word classes in Chinese class n-gram models for r.ont.extual postproeessing of handwriting recognition results. Three other language models have been constructed for comparison, gxtensive exl)eriments on large text col pora show that the discovered class bigram language model has outperformed all the three competing models, including the powerful inter-word character bigram model. Future works include (1) applying the discovered class bigram models to linguistic decoding in Chinese speech recognizer; and (2) studying other automatic discovery approaches.</Paragraph>
