Weights to lttoolbox[edit]
Theory[edit]
Weighted transducers are automata in which each transition in addition to its usual input label is augmented with an output label from a possible new alphabet, and carries some weight element of a semiring.
For weight in lttoolbox which currently supports NDFA system, we need Semi-ring for calculating weight.
A Semiring is defined by two binary operations ⊕ and ⊗ and two designated elements 0 and 1 and it consists of a system like K, ⊕, ⊗, 0, 1 with following properties:-
- ⊕ shows associative, commutative and has 0 as its own identity.
- ⊗ shows associative and has 1 as its own identity.
A left semiring distributes on the left and also a right semiring is similarly defined.
⊕ is used to combine the weight of two identically labeled alternative paths.
⊗ is used to combine weights along a path or when matching paths in composition or intersection.
Calculation of weights in lttoolbox[edit]
An arc weight in an FST gives the cost of taking that transition.
- A
Weightclass must have binary functionsPlusandTimesthese must form a left or right semiring.
Also in class Weight, there are some additions which must be defined like the following:-
>>:- This reads textual representation of a weight.<<:- This prints textual representation of a weight.LeftSemiring:- This indicates how weights form a left semi-ring.RightSemiring:- This indicates how weights form a right semi-ring.Read(istream &):- This reads binary representation of a weight.Write(ostream &):- This writes binary representation of a weight.ApproxEqual:- This shows approximate equality (for inexact weights).
