Character-Level Language Model
A character-level language model is a specific type of language model that simplifies training by tokenizing text into individual characters rather than complete words. In this modeling approach, the objective is to predict the next character in a text sequence based on the context of the current and all past characters.

A system is designed to predict the probability of a sequence of words. For the sequence 'The dog ran', the system provides the following conditional probabilities:
- The probability of 'The' occurring at the start of a sequence is 0.2.
- The probability of 'dog' occurring after 'The' is 0.3.
- The probability of 'ran' occurring after 'The dog' is 0.7.
Based on the fundamental principle used by such systems to determine the likelihood of a full sequence, what is the overall probability of the sequence 'The dog ran'?
Analyzing Language Model Probability Assignments
A system's primary goal is to predict the probability of a sequence of tokens. To calculate the total probability for the sequence 'The quick brown fox', it breaks the problem down into a series of conditional probability calculations. Arrange the following calculations in the correct order that the system would use to find the total probability of the sequence.
