Ideas for pythainlp.lm function

[wannaphong]

I think pythainlp.lm class should collect the function for doing preprocessing or post-processing Thai text from LLM and include a small language model that can run in computers for home users to do simple NLP jobs.

Preprocessing

• pythainlp.lm.calculate_ngram_counts: Calculates the counts of n-grams in the list words for the specified range. Add pythainlp.lm.calculate_ngram_counts #1054

Post-processing

• pythainlp.lm.remove_repeated_ngrams: Remove repeated n-grams (to fixed lm) Add pythainlp.llm #1043

If we're going to have a small language model as well, should we call the module just "lm"?
Just to make it more generic.

Agree 👍

How about leveraging NVIDIA-Curator to do pre-processing and post-processing?

We already have some examples from the NVIDIA team:

• Curating Non-English Datasets for LLM Training with NVIDIA NeMo Curator
• Training Localized Multilingual LLMs with NVIDIA NeMo

Add pythainlp.lm.calculate_ngram_counts #1054

For the "small language model", what about having that model as a core/cores for most of the basic tasks that don't required larger model in PyThaiNLP? So we will have less dependencies as well.

• Porting model to ONNX model #639
• Porting Thai2fit from fastai v1 to fastai v2 #716
• Remove all python-crfsuite models from PyThaiNLP #655
• Consider reduce dependencies #935

Just llama-cpp-python or onnx model. I think it is ok.
