Class ConstrainedForwardBackwardConfidenceEstimator

java.lang.Object

cc.mallet.fst.confidence.TransducerConfidenceEstimator

cc.mallet.fst.confidence.ConstrainedForwardBackwardConfidenceEstimator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class ConstrainedForwardBackwardConfidenceEstimator
extends TransducerConfidenceEstimator

Estimates the confidence of a Segment extracted by a Transducer by performing a "constrained lattice" calculation. Essentially, this sums all possible ways this segment could have been extracted and normalizes.
