Special Tokens

Description

Usage

EOS()

BOS()

UNK()

Details

Examples

f <- kgram_freqs("a b b a b", 2)
query(f, c(BOS(), EOS(), UNK()))

m <- language_model(f, "add_k", k = 1)
probability(c("a", "b") %|% BOS(), m)
probability("a b b a" %+% EOS(), m)

# The actual values of BOS(), EOS() and UNK() are irrelevant
c(BOS(), EOS(), UNK())
