Re: Challenge: Predictive Texting

Isn't it pretty much the same problem that all of the JavaScript autocomplete backend scripts solve? There are a few of them on CPAN.

perrin, Isn't it pretty much the same problem that all of the JavaScript autocomplete backend scripts solve? Not exactly, auto-completion is a technique to predict what you are going to type in the future based off what you have already typed. I did a bit of research this morning before posting and there are a number of papers out there regarding predictive texting - so yes, it is a solved problem. That shouldn't deter you from the fun of the challenge. Cheers - L~R	[reply]
