An n-gram model is a type of probabilistic model for predicting the next item in a sequence. n-grams are used in various areas of statistical natural language processing and genetic sequence analysis. An n-gram is a subsequence of n items from a given sequence. The items in question can be phonemes, syllables, letters, words or base pairs according to the application. An n-gram of size 1 is referred to as a “unigram”; size 2 is a “bigram” (or, less commonly, a “digram”); size 3 is a “trigram”; and size 4 or more is simply called an “n-gram”.

Approximate String Search
By mixing both written like(edit distance) and sounds like(soundex), we achieve an efficient aproximate string searching. This application is capable of cross language string search too. That means, you can search Hindi words in Malayalam text. If there is any Malayalam word, which is approximate transliteration of hindi word, or sounds alike the hindi words, it will be returned as an approximate match. The “written like” algorithm used here is a bigram average algorithm.
Katapayadi writing method
Katapayadi sankhya is a simplification of Aryabhata’s Sanskrit numerals, due probably to Haridatta from Kerala. In Malayalam it is also known as ‘Paralperu’.

This module will compare two texts for their similarity. Based on the similarity it will give a number between 0 and 1. 1 means both text are similary. 0 means texts are completely different. A value in between 0 and 1 indicates how much they are similar. The algorithm uses an n-grams model and cosine similarity.
