Language Model

Learn how language models support spellcheckers by estimating the likelihood of word sequences using methods such as noisy channel, n-gram, and neural networks. This lesson guides you through implementing a probability function that predicts word correctness based on a large corpus, enhancing your ability to build effective spell correction systems.

We'll cover the following...

What is a language model?

In the context of a spellchecker, a language model refers to a statistical model trained on a large corpus of text data to estimate the likelihood of word sequences in a specific language. It helps the spellchecker make intelligent suggestions for correcting misspelled words by considering the context in which the word appears. The equation is represented by P(c)P(c), or the probability that cc ...
