This algorithm also does pruning at the same time-- the combination is more efficient as it somtimes prevents us from creating a lot of states that would later be pruned away. This allows us to increase the lattice-beam and not have the algorithm blow up. Also, because our algorithm processes states in order from those that appear on high-scoring paths down to those that appear on low-scoring paths, we can easily terminate the algorithm after a certain specified number of states or arcs. The input is an FST with weight-type BaseWeightType (usually a pair of floats, with a lexicographical type of order, such as LatticeWeightTpl). Typically this would be a state-level lattice, with input symbols equal to words, and output-symbols equal to p.d.f's (so like the inverse of HCLG). Imagine representing this as an acceptor of type CompactLatticeWeightTpl, in which the input/output symbols are words, and the weights contain the original weights together with strings (with zero or one symbol in them) containing the original output labels (the p.d.f.'s). We determinize this using acceptor determinization with epsilon removal. Remember (from lattice-weight.h) that CompactLatticeWeightTpl has a special kind of semiring where we always take the string corresponding to the best cost (of type BaseWeightType), and discard the other. This corresponds to taking the best output-label sequence (of p.d.f.'s) for each input-label sequence (of words). We couldn't use the Gallic weight for this, or it would die as soon as it detected that the input FST was non-functional. In our case, any acyclic FST (and many cyclic ones) can be determinized. We assume that there is a function Compare(const BaseWeightType &a, const BaseWeightType &b) that returns (-1, 0, 1) according to whether (a < b, a == b, a > b) in the total order on the BaseWeightType... this information should be the same as NaturalLess would give, but it's more efficient to do it this way. You can define this for things like TropicalWeight if you need to instantiate this class for that weight type. We implement this determinization in a special way to make it efficient for the types of FSTs that we will apply it to. One issue is that if we explicitly represent the strings (in CompactLatticeWeightTpl) as vectors of type vector, the algorithm takes time quadratic in the length of words (in states), because propagating each arc involves copying a whole vector (of integers representing p.d.f.'s). Instead we use a hash structure where each string is a pointer (Entry*), and uses a hash from (Entry*, IntType), to the successor string (and a way to get the latest IntType and the ancestor Entry*). [this is the class LatticeStringRepository]. Another issue is that rather than representing a determinized-state as a collection of (state, weight), we represent it in a couple of reduced forms. Suppose a determinized-state is a collection of (state, weight) pairs; call this the "canonical representation". Note: these collections are always normalized to remove any common weight and string part. Define end-states as the subset of states that have an arc out of them with a label on, or are final. If we represent a determinized-state a the set of just its (end-state, weight) pairs, this will be a valid and more compact representation, and will lead to a smaller set of determinized states (like early minimization). Call this collection of (end-state, weight) pairs the "minimal representation". As a mechanism to reduce compute, we can also consider another representation. In the determinization algorithm, we start off with a set of (begin-state, weight) pairs (where the "begin-states" are initial or have a label on the transition into them), and the "canonical representation" consists of the epsilon-closure of this set (i.e. follow epsilons). Call this set of (begin-state, weight) pairs, appropriately normalized, the "initial representation". If two initial representations are the same, the "canonical representation" and hence the "minimal representation" will be the same. We can use this to reduce compute. Note that if two initial representations are different, this does not preclude the other representations from being the same. */ struct DeterminizeLatticePrunedOptions { float delta; // A small offset used to measure equality of weights. int max_mem; // If >0, determinization will fail and return false // when the algorithm's (approximate) memory consumption crosses this threshold. int max_loop; // If >0, can be used to detect non-determinizable input // (a case that wouldn't be caught by max_mem). int max_states; int max_arcs; float retry_cutoff; DeterminizeLatticePrunedOptions(): delta(kDelta), max_mem(-1), max_loop(-1), max_states(-1), max_arcs(-1), retry_cutoff(0.5) { } void Register (kaldi::OptionsItf *opts) { opts->Register("delta", &delta, "Tolerance used in determinization"); opts->Register("max-mem", &max_mem, "Maximum approximate memory usage in " "determinization (real usage might be many times this)"); opts->Register("max-arcs", &max_arcs, "Maximum number of arcs in " "output FST (total, not per state"); opts->Register("max-states", &max_states, "Maximum number of arcs in output " "FST (total, not per state"); opts->Register("max-loop", &max_loop, "Option used to detect a particular " "type of determinization failure, typically due to invalid input " "(e.g., negative-cost loops)"); opts->Register("retry-cutoff", &retry_cutoff, "Controls pruning un-determinized " "lattice and retrying determinization: if effective-beam < " "retry-cutoff * beam, we prune the raw lattice and retry.
