Implement Smoother: Kneser-Ney-Smoother
(special case of absolute discounting)
We have ModifiedKenserNey implemented. Do we still need normal KneserNey smoothing? What is a good paper that explain this?
I would like to have it in order to verify. Modified kneser ney was probosed by chen / goodman and their values cannot be reproduced and we don't know if their probabilities sum up to one. I want to double check what is the best method here. Implementation should be rather straight forward.
