Inspiration
I made this project as a part of an assignment for the deeplearning.ai NLP specialisation and wanted to convert it into an interactive web application.
What it does
You can type in a sentence and then provided some optional arguments like first character and the value of the smoothing factor and it'll predict the next word and return the corresponding probability.
How I built it
I pre-processed and then exported the data using Kaggle Kernels. I pasted all the functions in a utils.py
file and then invoked them in the main streamlit application. Then I simply deployed this application to Heroku using automatic deploys.
Challenges I ran into
I ran into a lot of issues with storage and fetching files. Towards the end, I figured out that the best way was to prune the dataset and export the files and use them.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I figured out how to properly the @st.cache
decorator of the streamlit library
What I learned
I learnt about the Github Large File System and performance/storage issues on working with Heroku and Streamlit applications
What's next for Auto-Completion using N-Gram Models
Next up I plan to compare the perplexity's using different values of the smoothing factor and then compare performance.
