> {{NGramLanguageModel}} is already using [Stupid 
> Backoff|http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/D07-1090.pdf] discounting when it 
> contains more than 1M ngrams.
> However since the not very good performance of Laplace smoothing for smaller 
> models, it'd be better to simply use Stupid Backoff in all cases.
