Text Prediction

Build a predictive text application using a statistical language model.

  • Key Features:

    • Predicts the next word based on user input.

    • Utilizes bigrams and trigrams for accurate predictions.

    • Trained on large text corpora including blogs, news, and tweets.

Solution Overview

  • Data Collection:

    • Sampled lines from “en_US.blogs.txt”, “en_US.news.txt”, and “en_US.twitter.txt”.
  • N-gram Model:

    • Bigrams: Predict the next word based on the previous word.

    • Trigrams: Predict the next word based on the previous two words.

  • Prediction Mechanism:

    • If input has 1 word, use bigrams.

    • If input has 2+ words, use trigrams (fallback to bigrams if no match).

Key Features

  • User Interface:

    • Simple text input field for entering phrases.

    • Displays predicted next word(s) based on input.

  • Backend:

    • Loads pre-trained bigrams and trigrams from .rds files.

    • Efficiently processes user input to provide real-time predictions. ## Key Featuresll
