Fast Word Predictor for On-Device Application
Huy Tien Nguyen, Khoi Tuan Nguyen, Anh Tuan Nguyen, Thanh Lac Thi Tran
Abstract
Learning on large text corpora, deep neural networks achieve promising results in the next word prediction task. However, deploying these huge models on devices has to deal with constraints of low latency and a small binary size. To address these challenges, we propose a fast word predictor performing efficiently on mobile devices. Compared with a standard neural network which has a similar word prediction rate, the proposed model obtains 60% reduction in memory size and 100X faster inference time on a middle-end mobile device. The method is developed as a feature for a chat application which serves more than 100 million users.
