Solution using lt-trim:
all:
        lt-comp lr analyser.dix analyser.bin
        lt-comp lr bidix.dix bidix.bin
        lt-trim analyser.bin bidix.bin analyser-found.bin
        lt-print analyser.bin > analyser.att
        lt-print analyser-found.bin > analyser-found.att
        hfst-txt2fst -e ε analyser.att -o analyser.hfst
        hfst-txt2fst -e ε analyser-found.att -o analyser-found.hfst
 
        hfst-subtract -1 analyser.hfst -2 analyser-found.hfst -o analyser-unfound.hfst
        hfst-reweight -a 1 analyser-unfound.hfst -o analyser-unfound.weighted.hfst
        hfst-union -1 analyser-unfound.weighted.hfst -2 analyser-found.hfst -o analyser.weighted.hfst
        hfst-fst2txt analyser.weighted.hfst -o analyser.weighted.att
        lt-comp lr analyser.weighted.att analyser.weighted.bin
clean:
        rm *.hfst *.att

TODO:
- Weight bidix with IBM model 1 (e.g. using fastalign) then propagate those weights to the FST.
