WordPredictor updates improve AI-driven text prediction accuracy

WordPredictor has released version 1.7.0, featuring significant accuracy enhancements. This update retrains the LSTM model on 20 million tokens of contemporary movie and TV dialogue, improving prediction relevance. It also extends the context window to six words and integrates the LSTM with the n-gram model, while fixing a bug that previously corrupted context. Version 1.6.0, released earlier, introduced an optional LSTM predictor trained on Project Gutenberg books, complementing the default n-gram model. AI
