Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented system for centralizing language model functionality, the system comprising: a first application configured to provide a first word sequence; a second application configured to provide a second word sequence; a language model component for processing the first and second word sequences, wherein the language model component includes a framework for generating a probability of encountering the first word sequence, as well as the probability of encountering the second word sequence; wherein the language model component is configured to provide the first word sequence to a second language model component; wherein the language model component is configured to provide the second word sequence to the second language model component; wherein the language model component is configured to receive from the second language model component a second set of probabilities representing a likelihood of encountering at least two sub-components of the second word sequence; wherein the language model component is further configured to support a processing of the second set of probabilities so as to enable generation of an overall probability of encountering the second word sequence; and wherein the first language model component is configured to provide the overall probability to the second application.
