  • a "language model” is a type of probabilistic model used in natural language processing, and is a model for probabilistically predicting how likely a given word or sentence is to occur in natural language. Specifically, a language model calculates the occurrence probability of a given word sequence or sentence, or compares the occurrence probability of multiple word sequences or sentences, making it possible to automatically generate the most likely word or sentence based on the context when predicting the next word or sentence.
