nextWord - a word predictor app

A web app I created that leverages machine learning and NLP methods to predict the next word bases on user input. It uses an n-gram language model with Kneser-Ney smoothing. The n-gram database was obtained after text mining a large corpus of circa 100 million words taken from twitter, news websites and blogs. Currently, the app can predict words in English, Spanish and German.
