  • Conditional probability of one word following a sequence of words

  • Most likely words to follow a given sequence

  • Word breaking of strings without any spaces

Next, we need to add a new ViewModel. Add a new file, called WebLmViewModel.cs, to the ViewModel folder. Add two string properties, corresponding to the input and output in the View. We also need to add four ICommand objects, which will be triggered when the buttons are pressed.
