• This app predicts the next likely word in a sentence.
• Powered by a boosted n-gram model with efficient backoff.
• Built with Shiny for a clean and responsive user experience.

• Applies a boosted backoff algorithm:
  • Checks 5-gram down to 2-gram prefix matches.
  • Falls back to unigram frequency if no match is found.
• Scoring is based on:
  • Match count, n-gram level, and adjusted frequency.
  • Context-aware bonus for more relevant predictions.

💡 Prioritizes both accuracy and speed.

• R Packages:
  • shiny, data.table, text2vec, stringr, bslib, shinycssloaders
• N-gram Models:
  • ng2 to ng5: data.tables with prefix, word, and count
  • ng1: fallback unigram vector
• Custom Prediction Function:
  • predict_next_word_boost_v1() — modular, efficient, and tuned

• Trained on: Twitter, Blogs, and News datasets
• Optimized for:
  • Speed: < 1 second latency
  • Size: ~1 MB after pruning
• High prediction accuracy for common phrases

Optimized for Shiny deployment:
To meet Shiny’s file upload limits, the model was intelligently

shrunk using a custom pruning function Retaining only the top-ranked n-grams. This kept the final model small (~1 MB) without sacrificing prediction quality.

🧪 Real-world ready and scalable.
