Abstract:
1. A computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon for creating a language model and performing Kana-Kanji conversion, wherein the computer-executable instructions cause a computer that executes the instructions to: receive a Kana character string; divide the Kana character string into substrings and generate Kanji candidates for each substring; obtain a plurality of trigram probabilities of Kanji candidates; determine whether any of the plurality of trigram probabilities is above a first threshold and select a Kanji candidate if a trigram probability is above the first threshold; when it is determined none of the plurality of trigram probabilities is above the first threshold: when it is determined none of the plurality of bigram probabilities is above the second threshold: display the selected Kanji candidates based on an order of precedence.
