  • Patent number: 9928232
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies are described herein for providing topically aware word suggestions. Using a text input, the system determines a conditional count and an unconditional count. The system then determines an adjustment factor for a pair of words of the plurality of words based on the unconditional count and the conditional count. The system then generates a data structure defining a plurality of word clusters. The system then reconstructs the adjustment factor of the pair of words based on a number of common clusters between individual words of the pair of words. The adjustment factor is combined with other data, such as data from a language model dictionary and a freshness factor from an average cluster activation state table to determine a probability associated with a word candidate, which is displayed to a user.
