1 Speech Recognition Lecture 6: Language Modeling Software Library Eugene Weinstein Google, NYU Courant Institute Slide Credit: Mehryar Mohri
2 Software Library GRM Library: Grammar Library. General software collection for constructing and modifying weighted automata and transducers representing grammars and statistical language models (Allauzen, Mohri, and Roark, 2005). 2
3 Software Libraries OpenGRM Libraries: open source libraries for constructing and using formal grammars in FST form, using OpenFST as underlying representation. NGram Library: create and manipulate n-gram language models encoded as weighted FSTs. (Roark et al., 2012) Thrax: compile regular expressions and contextdependent rewrite grammars into weighted FSTs. (Tai, Skut, and Sproat, 2011) 3
4 Overview Generality: to support the representation and use of the various grammars in dynamic speech recognition. Efficiency: to support competitive large-vocabulary dynamic recognition using automata of several hundred million states and transitions. Reliability: to serve as a solid foundation for research in statistical language modeling. 4
5 Language Modeling Tools Counts: automata (strings or lattices), merging. Models: Backoff or deleted interpolation smoothing. Katz or absolute discounting. Kneser-Ney models. Shrinking: weighted difference or relative entropy. Class-based modeling: straightforward. 5
6 Corpus Input: hello. bye. hello. bye bye. Corpus Labels <s> 1 </s> 2 <unknown> 3 hello 4 bye 5 Program: or farcompilestrings --symbols=labels.txt corpus.txt > corpus.far cat lattice1.fst... latticen.fst > foo.far 6
7 This Lecture Counting Model creation, shrinking, and conversion Class-based models 7
8 Counting Weights: use fstpush to remove initial weight and create a probabilistic automaton. counting from far files. counts produced in log semiring. Algorithm: applies to all probabilistic automata. In particular, no cycles with weight zero or less. 8
9 Counting Transducers b:ε/1 a:ε/1 b:ε/1 a:ε/1 x = ab bbabaabba 0 X:X/1 1/1 εεabεεεεε εεεεεabεε X is an automaton representing a string or any other regular expression. Alphabet Σ={a, b}. 9
10 Counting Program: ngramcount --order=2 corpus.far > corpus.2.counts.fst ngrammerge foo.counts.fst bar.counts.fst > foobar.counts.fst Graphical representation: <s>/4 2/0 hello/2 bye/2 hello/2 3/0 </s>/2 0/0 </s>/4 1/0 bye/3 </s>/2 4/0 bye/1 10
11 This Lecture Counting Model creation, shrinking, and conversion Class-based models 11
12 Creating Back-off Model Program: ngrammake corpus.2.counts.fst > corpus.2.lm.fst Graphical representation: bye/0.698 bye/ !/3.500 bye/ </s>/0.410 hello/1.504 </s>/0.810 </s>/ /0 3!/4.481 hello/0.698!/
13 Shrinking Back-off Model Program: ngramshrink --method=relative_entropy --theta=0.2 foo. 2.lm.fst > foo.2.s.lm.fst Graphical representation: hello/ </s>/0.005 bye/1.098!/4.704 hello/ !/4.481 </s>/ /0 2 bye/
14 Back-off Smoothing Definition: for a bigram model, Pr[w i w i 1 ]= d c(wi 1 w i )c(w i 1 w i ) c(w i 1 ) α Pr[w i ] if k>0; otherwise; where d k = 1 if k>5; k+1 kn k otherwise. 14
15 Merging/Interpolation Program: ngrammerge --normalize --alpha=2 --beta=3 a.lm.fst b.lm.fst > merged.fst Resulting language models are mixed at relative importance corresponding to --alpha and --beta, normalizing the output LM to be a probability distribution 15
16 This Lecture Counting Model creation, shrinking, and conversion Class-based models 16
17 Class-Based Models Simple class-based models: Pr[w i h] =Pr[w i C i ]Pr[C i h]. Methods in GRM: no special utility needed. create transducer mapping strings to classes. use fstcompose to map from word corpus to classes. build and make model over classes. use fstcompose to map from classes to words. Generality: classes defined by weighted automata. 17
18 Class-Based Model - Example Example: BYE = {bye, bye bye}. Graphical representation: mapping from strings to classes. hello:hello/0 0/0 bye:bye/0.693 hello:hello/0 bye:!/0 1/0 18
19 Class-Based Model - Counts <s>/4 2/0 hello/2 bye/2 <s>/4 2/0 hello/2 BYE/2 0/0 hello/2 3/0 </s>/4 </s>/2 1/0 0/0 hello/2 3/0 </s>/4 </s>/2 1/0 bye/3 </s>/2 BYE/2 </s>/2 4/0 bye/1 4/0 Original counts. Class-based counts. 19
20 Models bye/0.698 bye/ !/3.500 bye/ </s>/0.410 hello/1.504 </s>/0.810 </s>/ /0 3!/4.481 hello/0.698!/ original model. 3 BYE/ !/4.605 BYE/1.386!/4.605 hello/ </s>/0.005 hello/1.386!/4.605 </s>/ </s>/ /0 class-based model. 20
21 Final Class-Based Model bye/1.391!/ </s>/0.005 bye/2.079 bye/0!/ </s>/0.693!/4.605 </s>/ /0 hello/0.698!/ </s>/0.005 hello/
