8 Concluding Remarks
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have presented two corpus-based adaptation mechanisms for Chinese homophone disambiguation: character-preference learning and pseudo-word learnI00 null ing. Experimental results show that the error rates have been reduced significantly. This proves yet another success of corpus-based NLP research.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Future works include (l) more experiments using various texts, (2) study on more effective adjustment functions for CPL, (3) study on weighting of different lengths of pseudo words, (4) adaptation based on other parameters, e.g., parts-of-speech, semantic categories, and (5) application to linguistic decoding for speech recognition.</Paragraph>
