Building a Language Model in PHP: An Educational Implementation
The article showcases an educational implementation of a language model in PHP using a Markov Chain. The code demonstrates how to construct, train, and use an n-gram language model for text generation. The model is trained on a text file with the 7 books of Harry Potter, allowing it to generate new sentences based on the probabilities of word sequences in the training data. The article provides instructions on how to use the model, including adjusting the value of the n-grams variable. It also highlights the importance of caution when setting this variable due to the exponential growth of possibilities. This implementation serves as a simple but effective example for understanding the basics of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and statistical language models.
