Do recurrent neural language models greedily model language probability?

Want to check my understanding of recurrent neural language models (in this case I'm working with a decoder in an encoder-decoder RNN but I don't think that matters significantly). I'm trying to ...

Calculating test-time perplexity for seq2seq (RNN) language models

To compute the perplexity of a language model (LM) on a test sentence $s=w_1,\dots,w_n$ we need to compute all next-word predictions $P(w_1), P(w_2|w_1),\dots,P(w_n|w_1,\dots,w_{n-1})$. My question ...

Advantage of character based language models over word based

Is there an intuition why character based models language bases models are preferred over word based. For example Karpathy builds his language model by predicting the next character in Karpathy Blog. ...
