A neural language model uses a neural network to assign a probability distribution to language sequences. An autoregressive model factorizes the probability of words w1​,…,wT​ as
P(w1​,…,wT​)=∏t=1T​P(wt​∣w1​,…,wt−1​).

Training by maximum likelihood estimation rewards the observed next words; generation repeatedly samples from the conditional distribution. If a two-word sequence has first-word probability 0.2 and conditional second-word probability 0.3, its joint probability is 0.06.
Yoshua Bengio and coauthors' 2003 model jointly learned a distributed representation of words and a neural probability predictor. Sharing representation parameters allowed similar contexts to inform one another, rather than treating every observed word sequence as an unrelated event.[ref]
