Why this is important for the company?

Predicting the next word will help us:

  • Type faster
  • Suggest possible typos
  • Have fun

How it works?

            before the app:
  • Calculate ngrams frequencies
  • Rank those ngrams and only select their names
  • Writes a file for easy access to the list
  • This process is done before any prediction takes place
  • Therefore the app runs fast even if the fitting process takes a lot of time
            The app
  • App loads the ranked list of ngrams
  • User write words
  • Application uses the last 2 words to make prediction
  • Displays prediction using the last word and last 2 words

Next steps

  • Find more heterogeneous corpus
  • Rent server power to:
  • ——Fit more lines of text
  • ——Use up to 4-ngrams (now is 3-ngrams)
  • This will allow us to have better prediction and predict using the last 3 words.
