[Corpora-List] Uses of N-grams?

[Imene Bensalem]

Hi Cedirc ;

n-gram is a technique commonly used in natural language processing (NLP)
Instead of representing a document as a bag-of-word, it is sometimes useful
to represent it using n-grams,
especially if the application needs to capture contextual information, or
needs to be robust against spelling mistakes.
Examples of this technique use in NLP applicaitons includes: automatic
plagiarism
detection , authorship attribution , topic identification.

Kind regards

Imene
