JHU Data Science Specialization: Predict The Next Word App

The purpose of this app is to predict in real-time the next most likely word to be typed in by a user given what she has written so far.

The goals are to make typing:

1. Faster

2. More accurate

Please go to https://rafaelmarino.shinyapps.io/myApp/ to try the App.

Steps:

• On the left side of the App you will see an input box where you can type a piece of text in English.
• On the right side there are two tabs:
  • The “Prediction” tab. This is where the real-time prediction shows up everytime you update your input text.
  • The “Technical Details” tab. Documentation and technical explanation of the algorithm. And also commentaries about future versions.

The App can be modified to be used as an add-on in different softwares. The type of use can vary, for instance:

1. Personal Use

In Instant-messaging devices for personal use, such as Messenger or Whatsapp.

1. Business Use

In intra-organizational chat systems (such as Lync), would be a great addition to expedite employee communication.

This is the final project in the Data Science Specialization so I would like to thank everyone that made this possible:

• The creators of the Specialization: Roger Peng, Brian Caffo and Jeff Leek.
• All my fellow students, for being (on average), positive and constructive both in the forums and in the grading of my projects. Much has been learned from you guys.
• All the Teaching Assisstants that have taken the time to help students with issues and questions in the forums.
• Everyone else who might be reading these lines.

On to the next challenge. And to quote the great Steve Jobs: “Stay hungry, stay foolish.”
