Enclosing interface:

LanguageModel

public static interface LanguageModel.Sequence
extends LanguageModel

A LanguageModel.Sequence is normalized over all character sequences. A sequence language model is required to assign a probability of 1.0 to the sum of the probability of all character sequences, regardless of length:

&Sigman >= 0 &Sigmacs.length()=n 2log2Prob(cs) = 1.0

Note that this interface is a marker interface and does not specify any additional method signatures.
