 Neural Probabilistic Language Model Toolkit -- Java
 ===================================================
 
-This is based on the [NPLM toolkit](http://nlg.isi.edu/software/nplm/) from ISI.
+This is based on the [NPLM toolkit](http://nlg.isi.edu/software/nplm/) from ISI. In fact, it is a simple port of the nplm.py python file from that distribution. The goal is to have a reader for the language model file which can be used in Java. The interesting part is the matrix multiplication to get the probability of text.

+Hopefully there will be a JNI section for training a LM from Java also.
