Summary

Functions:

`get_decoding`	This function reads a config and creates the decoder for k2 graph compiler decoding. There are the following cases: - HLG is compiled and LM rescoring is used. In that case, compose_HL_with_G and use_G_rescoring are both True and we will create for example G_3_gram.fst.txt and G_4_gram.fst.txt. Note that the 3gram and 4gram ARPA lms will need to exist under `hparams['lm_dir']`. - HLG is compiled but LM rescoring is not used. In that case, compose_HL_with_G is True and use_G_rescoring is False and we will create for example G_3_gram.fst.txt. Note that the 3gram ARPA lm will need to exist under `hparams['lm_dir']`. - HLG is not compiled (only use HL graph) and LM rescoring used. In that case, compose_HL_with_G is False and use_G_rescoring is True. Note that the 4gram ARPA lms will need to exist under `hparams['lm_dir']`. - HLG is not compiled (only use HL graph) and LM rescoring is not used. In that case, compose_HL_with_G is False and use_G_rescoring is False and we will not convert LM to FST.
`get_lattice`	Get the decoding lattice from a decoding graph and neural network output.
`one_best_decoding`	Get the best path from a lattice.
`rescore_with_whole_lattice`	Intersect the lattice with an n-gram LM and use shortest path to decode.

This function reads a config and creates the decoder for k2 graph compiler decoding. There are the following cases:

HLG is compiled and LM rescoring is used. In that case, compose_HL_with_G and use_G_rescoring are both True and we will create for example G_3_gram.fst.txt and G_4_gram.fst.txt. Note that the 3gram and 4gram ARPA lms will need to exist under hparams['lm_dir'].

HLG is compiled but LM rescoring is not used. In that case, compose_HL_with_G is True and use_G_rescoring is False and we will create for example G_3_gram.fst.txt. Note that the 3gram ARPA lm will need to exist under hparams['lm_dir'].

HLG is not compiled (only use HL graph) and LM rescoring used. In that case, compose_HL_with_G is False and use_G_rescoring is True. Note that the 4gram ARPA lms will need to exist under hparams['lm_dir'].

HLG is not compiled (only use HL graph) and LM rescoring is not used. In that case, compose_HL_with_G is False and use_G_rescoring is False and we will not convert LM to FST.

Parameters:

hparams (dict) – The hyperparameters.
graphCompiler (graph_compiler.GraphCompiler) – The graphCompiler (H)
device (torch.device) – The device to use.

Returns:

decoding_graph: k2.Fsa: A HL or HLG decoding graph. Used with a nnet output and the function get_lattice to obtain a decoding lattice k2.Fsa.
decoding_method: Callable[[k2.Fsa], k2.Fsa]: A function to call with a decoding lattice k2.Fsa (obtained after nnet output intersect with a HL or HLG). Retuns an FsaVec containing linear FSAs

Return type:

Dict

Get the decoding lattice from a decoding graph and neural network output.

Parameters:

log_probs_nnet_output – It is the output of a neural model of shape (batch, seq_len, num_tokens).
input_lens – It is an int tensor of shape (batch,). It contains lengths of each sequence in log_probs_nnet_output.
decoder – It is an instance of k2.Fsa that represents the decoding graph.
search_beam – Decoding beam, e.g. 20. Ger is faster, larger is more exact (less pruning). This is the default value; it may be modified by min_active_states and max_active_states.
output_beam – Beam to prune output, similar to lattice-beam in Kaldi. Relative to best path of output.
min_active_states – Minimum number of FSA states that are allowed to be active on any given frame for any given intersection/composition task. This is advisory, in that it will try not to have fewer than this number active. Set it to zero if there is no constraint.
max_active_states – Maximum number of FSA states that are allowed to be active on any given frame for any given intersection/composition task. This is advisory, in that it will try not to exceed that but may not always succeed. You can use a very large number if no constraint is needed.
ac_scale – acoustic scale applied to log_probs_nnet_output
subsampling_factor – The subsampling factor of the model.

Returns:

An FsaVec containing the decoding result. It has axes [utt][state][arc].

Return type:

lattice

speechbrain.k2_integration.lattice_decoder.one_best_decoding(lattice: Fsa, use_double_scores: bool = True) → Fsa[source]

Get the best path from a lattice.

Parameters:

lattice – The decoding lattice returned by get_lattice().
use_double_scores – True to use double precision floating point in the computation. False to use single precision.

Returns:

An FsaVec containing linear paths.

Return type:

speechbrain.k2_integration.lattice_decoder.rescore_with_whole_lattice(lattice: Fsa, G_with_epsilon_loops: Fsa, lm_scale_list: List[float] | None = None, use_double_scores: bool = True) → Fsa | Dict[str, Fsa][source]

Intersect the lattice with an n-gram LM and use shortest path to decode. The input lattice is obtained by intersecting HLG with a DenseFsaVec, where the G in HLG is in general a 3-gram LM. The input G_with_epsilon_loops is usually a 4-gram LM. You can consider this function as a second pass decoding. In the first pass decoding, we use a small G, while we use a larger G in the second pass decoding.

Parameters:

lattice (k2.Fsa) – An FsaVec with axes [utt][state][arc]. Its aux_labels are word IDs. It must have an attribute lm_scores.
G_with_epsilon_loops (k2.Fsa) – An FsaVec containing only a single FSA. It contains epsilon self-loops. It is an acceptor and its labels are word IDs.
lm_scale_list (Optional[List[float]]) – If none, return the intersection of lattice and G_with_epsilon_loops. If not None, it contains a list of values to scale LM scores. For each scale, there is a corresponding decoding result contained in the resulting dict.
use_double_scores (bool) – True to use double precision in the computation. False to use single precision.

Returns:

If lm_scale_list is None, return a new lattice which is the intersection
result of lattice and G_with_epsilon_loops.
Otherwise, return a dict whose key is an entry in lm_scale_list and the
value is the decoding result (i.e., an FsaVec containing linear FSAs).
