Pitching the app - AM-IWPM (What is it & How it works)

Amer Kanaan-Interactive Word Prediction Model (or AM-IWPM) is a Shiny App made with a user-friendly interface that predicts next word according to an entered text. It is interactive, fast, and relatively useful in predicting words with an interface similar to a mobile phone text predictor.

The app utilizes the Stupid Backoff algorithm to make predictions. In summary, this algorithm uses a pre-existing corpus of thousands of sentences, counts its words, and extracts predictions [The main equation is attached].

It builds on fast libraries to retrieve data. AM-IWPM contributed creatively by making a group of corpus datasets that have been indexed & cleaned in a way that allows the algorithm to be super fast and memory-friendly without losing efficiency.

In particular, the function itself doesn't calculate a lot, and most calculations are previously done and embedded in the datasets.
