LanguageModel

All Known Implementing Classes:

Enclosing interface:

LanguageModel

public static interface LanguageModel.Process
extends LanguageModel

A LanguageModel.Process is normalized by length. A process language model is required to assign a probability of 1.0 to the sum of the probability of all character sequences of a specified length. Specifically, this interface requires for all non-negative n that:

&Sigmacs.length()=n 2log2Prob(cs) = 1.0

Note that this interface is a marker interface and does not specify any additional method signatures.
