Next Word Prediction Using LSTM – Language Modeling on Shakespeare's Hamlet
Project: Hamlet Next Word Prediction using LSTM
Author: Shailesh Gupta
GitHub: View Source Code
📌 Overview
This deep learning project uses an LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) network to perform next word prediction on a text corpus derived from Shakespeare's Hamlet. The model learns word sequences and generates text one word at a time, simulating the creative structure of natural language.
🎯 Problem Statement
Can a neural network trained on classical literature predict the next word in a sentence with contextual accuracy?
This project explores the ability of LSTM-based models to understand and generate language sequences from complex, stylized text.
🔍 Key Features
- Text generation using LSTM layers in Keras
- Custom tokenizer, sequence creation, and word embedding
- Model trained on over 12,000 words from Shakespeare’s Hamlet
- User input allows dynamic next-word prediction
- Deployed as an interactive Streamlit app
🛠️ Tools & Tech Stack
- Python, TensorFlow, Keras
- LSTM layers for sequential prediction
- NLTK, Regular Expressions (text cleaning)
- Streamlit (for deployment)
