Building on the 90s, statistical n-gram language models, trained on vast text collections, became the backbone of NLP research. They fueled advancements in nearly all NLP techniques of the era, laying the groundwork for today's AI.

Slide from Information Service Engineering 2025, LEcture 02, Natural Language PRocessing 01, A Brief History of NLP, NLP timeline. The timeline is located in the middle of the slide from top to bottom. The pointer on the timeline indicates 1990s. On the left, the formula for conditional probability of a word, following a given series of words, is given as a formula.

In our #ISE2025 lecture last Wednesday, we learned how in n-gram language models via Markov assumption and maximum likelihood estimation we can predict the probability of the occurrence of a word given a specific context (i.e. n words previous in the sequence of words).

Slide from the Information Service Engineering 2025 lecture, 03 Natural Language Processing 02, 2.9, Language MOdels:
Title: N-Gram Language Model
The probability of a sequence of words can be computed via contitional probability and the Bayes Rule (including the chain rule for n words). Approximation is performed via Markov assumption (dependency only on the n last words), and the Maximum Likelihood estimation (approximating the probabilities of a sequence of words by counting and normalising …
