| Abstract: | We describe a lattice generation method that is exact, i.e. it satisfies all the natural properties we would want from a lattice of alterna- tive transcriptions of an utterance. This method does not introduce substantial overhead above one-best decoding. Our method is most directly applicable when using WFST decoders where the WFST is “fully expanded”, i.e. where the arcs correspond to HMM transi- tions. It outputs lattices that include HMM-state-level alignments as well as word labels. The general idea is to create a state-level lattice during decoding, and to do a special form of determinization that retains only the best-scoring path for each word sequence. This spe- cial determinization algorithm is a solution to the following problem: Given a WFST A, compute a WFST B that, for each input-symbol- sequence of A, contains just the lowest-cost path through A. |
