Abstract
A data input system is described for inputting text items to an electronic device. The data input system has a store holding a vocabulary of embeddings of text items, each embedding being a numerical encoding of a text item. The data input system receives user input comprising a sequence of one or more context text items and a new text item, the new text item being a text item with an embedding to be computed and added to the vocabulary or with an embedding already in the vocabulary and to be updated. A neural network predictor predicts a next text item in the sequence given the context text items and the vocabulary. An online training module updates the vocabulary by using either a direction associated with the predicted next item, or, by comparing the new text item and the predicted next text item.
