Some examples and use cases from the internet:

• In this paper, we compare several smoothing techniques such as backing
• off or interpolation that are used to avoid assigning zero probability to any sentence.
• One role is to avoid assigning zero probabilities to words that have not occurred in a document and the other is to accommodate generation of common words in ...
• Smoothing basically means to adjust the maximum likelihood estimate slightly to avoid assigning zero probability to any word, which also generally improves the ...
• Maximum likelihood estimation of trigrams is straightforward (count!) but to avoid assigning zero probabilities smoothing and discounting must be employed.

• Nov 21, 2013 ... The worse you can measure, the more events you feel justified assigning zero probability? It's strange that such claims make it out into the wild.
• Apr 3, 2011 ... This allows you to derive a contradiction from assigning zero probability to elementary events in a countable probability space, but not in the ...
• on; while assigning zero probability to an event requires being aware of it. ... pure unawareness of an event is incomparable with assigning zero probability to it.
• ues that are not logically outside the bounds of the parameter (e.g., mass concentration ratios may be.
• to avoid assigning zero probability to parameter val
