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)
