S. and Bakar, Z. A. and Jaafar, J.}, abstract = {Word prediction algorithms are widely used in aiding disables by recommending the next potential word to be used. In this paper, the word prediction algorithm, n-gram, is used to resolve ambiguity in Malay text to retrieve relevant information. The test collection consists of Malay translated Al-Quran and Hadith. Initial experiment is conducted using the keyword madu that retrieved 72 Hadiths and 3 translated Al-Quran documents. Experiments are conducted on these retrieved documents using bigram and trigram. Result shows that trigram gives better prediction and retrieved relevant documents compared to the bigram. {\^A}{\copyright} 2016 IEEE.}, isbn = {9789380544199}, keywords = {Aluminum; Translation (languages), Al-quran; Ambiguous word; Bigram; Hadith; Malay texts; N-grams; Tri grams; Word prediction, Forecasting} }
