TITLE: WORD PREDICTION USING A SYSTEMIC TREE ADJOINING GRAMMAR AUTHORS: Gijoo Yang, Kathleen McCoy, and Patrick Demasco COMMENTS: (c) 1990 RESNA Press. Reprinted with permission. ABSTRACT: Several augmentative communication systems attempt to predict the most likely input from the user in order to make that input available with minimal time/effort. To date these systems have relied on frequency data (e.g., word frequency statistics, word category statistics) However, none of them have employed the approaches developed in linguistics or computational linguistics to the fullest power. In this work the application of several of these approaches to the area of word prediction is investigated.
