How to smooth unigrams

I have a unigram language model and i want to smooth the counts. Is add one smoothing the only way or can i use some other smoothing also. I dont think we can use knesser nay as that is for Ngrams with N>=2. Any other smoothing method you kno开发者_运维技巧w?

How about witten bell?

For unigram smoothing, Good-Turing would be optimal ...and it's easy (to apply)!

For higher orders, modified interpolated Kneser-Ney is a good choice.
