Next step in our NLP timeline is Claude Elwood Shannon, who already laid the foundations for statistical language modeling by recognising the relevance of n-grams to model properties of language and predicting the likelihood of word sequences.

Slide from the Information Service ENgineering lecture 02, Natural Language Processing 01. Title: NLP Timeline. A black & white portrait picture of Claude Elwood Shannon (1916-2001) is shown on the left side of a timeline marked with "1948". Shannon is depicted in front of an old 1950s "electronic" computer. The text on the right side of the timeline says: Claude Shannon proposed the idea of using n-grams as a means to analyse the statistical properties of language in "A Mathematical Theory of Communication" (1948). While Shannon's primary focus was on communication and information transmission, he recognised the relevance of n-grams in modeling language and predicting the likelihood of word sequences. BIbliographical reference: Shannon, Claude Elwood (July 1948). A Mathematical Theory of Communication, Bell System Technical Journal. 27 (3): 379–423.
