SmoothSuite

Course Assignment, ELL881 (NLP), Spring'23

Collection of Smoothing Algorithms for Generative N-Gram Language Models

This course assignment in the NLP course was meant to give exposure to techniques in classical NLP. Particularly we implemented many smoothing algorithms for N-Gram Language Models which we trained on Harry Potter books to generate wizard-looking text. Check out the code for details on these algorithms that are often missing from most course offerings.

We implemented the following algorithms:

  • Add-K
  • Interpolation
  • Katz-Backoff
  • Good-Turing
  • Kneser-Kney
