      TITLE = {Handling Sparse Data by Successive Abstraction},
      YEAR = {1996},

      ABSTRACT = {A general, practical method for handling sparse data that avoids held-out data and iterative reestimation is derived from first principles. It has been tested on a part-of-speech tagging task and outperformed linear (deleted) interpolation even when the latter used a globally optimal parameter setting determined a posteriori.},
