In p-mohan/autocomplete:

text-predictor

In the Shiny app there will be a text box where users can input text. When at least two words are typed, the app will suggest a list of words from the language model. For example, if you type “Expecting a” the app will suggest “baby, package” as a drop down list. The goal of this app will be to make smart a autocomplete system to speed up typing by predicting words.

Model

A trigram model is built using Kneser-Ney smoothing. Given a bigram “expecting a” the model would know the probability of a word already seen in the training set. For instance “expecting a baby” or “expecting a package”.The UI would then display a list of suggestions (of the third word in the trigram) sorted by the probability of that trigram and the user can choose one if that is what they are expecting.
