Language model

[Sandy F]

If we assume that all digits in isolated recognition have an equal probability of occurring, so that P(W) is 1/10, why can’t we ignore P(W) altogether like we do P(O)?

[Simon]

In this one, very special case, where P(W) is a constant (i.e., it does not depend on W) we could indeed omit it

but in the more general case, where P(W) varies for different W, then we must of course compute it
