Make it compatible with both python 2.x and 3.x. This is an extremely simple Python wrapper for SRILM: http://www.speech.sri.com/projects/srilm/ Install SRILM - `vim Makefile` - SRILM = $(PWD) # or a specific direcotry - MACHINE_TYPE := i686-m64 # output from `uname -i` - `vim common/Makefile.machine.MACHINE_TYPE` - `NO_TCL = 1` -> `NO_TCL = X` - `GAWK = /usr/bin/awk` -> `GAWK = /usr/bin/gawk` # output from `which gawk` - compile with `-fPIC` - `ADDITIONAL_CFLAGS = -fopenmp` -> `ADDITIONAL_CFLAGS = -fopenmp -fPIC` - `ADDITIONAL_CXXFLAGS = -fopenmp` -> `ADDITIONAL_CXXFLAGS = -fopenmp -fPIC` - `make World` & `make test` - `export SRILM/bin:SRILM/bin/i686-m64:$PATH` - `which ngram-count` # test Basically it lets you load a SRILM-format ngram model into memory, and then query it directly from Python. Right now this is extremely bare-bones, just enough to do what I needed, no fancy infrastructure at all. Feel free to send patches though if you extend it! Requirements: - SRILM - Cython Installation: - Edit setup.py so that it can find your SRILM build files. - To install in your Python environment, use: python setup.py install To just build the interface module: python setup.py build_ext --inplace which will produce srilm.so, which can be placed on your PYTHONPATH and accessed as 'import srilm'. Usage: from srilm import LM # Use lower=True if you passed -lower to ngram-count. lower=False is # default. lm = LM("path/to/model/from/ngram-count", lower=True) # Compute log10(P(brown | the quick)) # # Note that the context tokens are in *reverse* order, as per SRILM's # internal convention. I can't decide if this is a bug or not. If you # have a model of order N, and you pass more than (N-1) words, then # the first (N-1) entries in the list will be used. (I.e., the most # recent (N-1) context words.) lm.logprob_strings("brown", ["quick", "the"]) # We can also compute the probability of a sentence (this is just # a convenience wrapper): # log10 P(The | <s>) # + log10 P(quick | <s> The) # + log10 P(brown | <s> The quick) lm.total_logprob_strings(["The", "quick", "brown"]) # Internally, SRILM interns tokens to integers. You can convert back # and forth using the .vocab attribute on an LM object: idx = lm.vocab.intern("brown") print idx assert lm.vocab.extern(idx) == "brown" # .extern() returns None if an idx is unused for some reason. # There's a variant of .logprob_strings that takes these directly, # which is probably not really any faster, but sometimes is more # convenient if you're working with interned tokens anyway: lm.logprob(lm.vocab.intern("brown"), [lm.vocab.intern("quick"), lm.vocab.intern("the"), ]) # There are detect "magic" tokens that don't actually represent anything # in the input stream, like <s> and <unk>. You can detect them like assert lm.vocab.is_non_word(lm.intern("<s>")) assert not lm.vocab.is_non_word(lm.intern("brown")) # Sometimes it's handy to have two models use the same indices for the # same words, i.e., share a vocab table. This can be done like: lm2 = LM("other/model", vocab=lm.vocab) # This gives the index of the highest vocabulary word, useful for # iterating over the whole vocabulary. Unlike the Python convention # for describing ranges, this is the *inclusive* maximum: lm.vocab.max_interned() # And finally, let's put it together with an example of how to find # the max-probability continuation: # argmax_w P(w | the quick) # by querying each word in the vocabulary in turn: context = [lm.vocab.intern(w) for w in ["quick", "the"]] best_idx = None best_logprob = -1e100 # Don't forget the +1, because Python and SRILM disagree about how # ranges should work... for i in xrange(lm.vocab.max_interned() + 1): logprob = lm.logprob(i, context) if logprob > best_logprob: best_idx = i best_logprob = logprob best_word = lm.vocab.extern(best_idx) print "Max prob continuation: %s (%s)" % (best_word, best_logprob)
