Abstract

We investigate the effect of incorporating syntactic information into a word-completion algorithm. We introduce two new algorithms that combine part-of-speech tag trigrams with word bigrams, and evaluate them with a test-bench constructed for the purpose. The results show a small but statistically significant improvement in keystroke savings for one of our algorithms over baselines that use only word n-grams.
