NAME¶
hfst-strings2fst - =Compile string pairs and pair-strings into transducer(s)
SYNOPSIS¶
hfst-strings2fst [OPTIONS...] [INFILE]
DESCRIPTION¶
Compile string pairs and pair-strings into transducer(s)
Common options:¶
- -h, --help
 - Print help message
 - -V, --version
 - Print version info
 - -v, --verbose
 - Print verbosely while processing
 - -q, --quiet
 - Only print fatal erros and requested output
 - -s, --silent
 - Alias of --quiet
 
Input/Output options:¶
- -i, --input=INFILE
 - Read input strings from INFILE
 - -o, --output=OUTFILE
 - Write output transducer to OUTFILE
 
String and format options:¶
- -f, --format=FMT
 - Write result in FMT format
 - -j, --disjunct-strings
 - Disjunct all strings instead of transforming each string into a separate transducer
 - --norm
 - Divide each weight by sum of all weights (with option -j)
 - --log
 - Take negative natural logarithm of each weight
 - --log10
 - Take negative 10-based logarithm of each weight
 - -p, --pairstrings
 - Input is in pairstring format
 - -S, --has-spaces
 - Input has spaces between symbols/symbol pairs
 - -e, --epsilon=EPS
 - Interpret string EPS as epsilon.
 - -m, --multichar-symbols=FILE
 - Strings that must be tokenized as one symbol.
 
If OUTFILE or INFILE is missing or -, standard streams will be used. FMT can be { foma, openfst-tropical, openfst-log, sfst, optimized-lookup-weighted, optimized-lookup-unweighted }. If EPS is not defined, the default representation of @0@ is used. Option --norm precedes option --log. The FILE of option -m lists all multichar-symbols, each symbol on its own line. Backslash '\' may be used to escape ':', tab and itself. For any other symbol x '\x' means x literally, i.e. is the same as 'x'. The weight of a string can be given after the string separated by a tabulator. The weight cannot be zero.
EXAMPLES¶
- echo "cat:dog" | hfst-strings2fst
 - create cat:dog fst
 - echo "c:da:ot:g" | hfst-strings2fst -p
 - same as pairstring
 - echo "c:d a:o t:g" | hfst-strings2fst -p -S
 - same as pairstring with spaces
 - echo "c a t:d o g" | hfst-strings2fst -S
 - same with spaces
