Abstract
A method for generating an output sequence includes receiving an input sequence of symbols. An output sequence is generated from a reduced directed graph derived from n-gram statistics for a corpus sequence of symbols. The graph includes nodes connected by edges that are labeled with a sequence of symbols and associated with a multiplicity representing a number of occurrences of the sequence of symbols in the corpus sequence. Each path through the graph where each edge is traversed its multiplicity of times reconstructs the corpus sequence. The sequences of symbols in the reduced graph vary in number of symbols. The output sequence from the first iteration, and optionally also an output sequence from at least one subsequent iteration, is/are output. The output sequence may be proposed to an author to assist in generating a document.
