Abstract
Systems comprising a user interface configured to receive text input by a user and a text prediction engine configured to receive the input text and generate text predictions. The text prediction engine may comprise a general language model and a context-specific language model. The text prediction engine is configured to generate text predictions from the general language model and the context-specific language model and combine the text predictions. The text prediction engine may comprise first and second language models and a first context-specific weighting factor associated with the first language model. The text prediction engine is configured to generate text predictions using the first and second language models, generate weighted probabilities of the text predictions from the first language model using the first context-specific weighting factor; and generate final text predictions from the weighted predictions generated from the first language model and the predictions generated by the second language model.
