    In this paper an approach is proposed to combine different order N-grams based on the discriminative estimation criterion, on which the parameters of n-gram can be optimized. To raise the power of modeling language information, we propose several schemes to combine conventional different order n-gram language model. We employ Newton Gradient method to estimate the assumption probabilities and then test the optimally selected language model. We conduct experiments on the platform of conversion from Chinese pinyin to Chinese character. The experimental results show that the memory capacity of language model can be remarkably lowered with hide loss of accuracy. 1
