Determinize

Description

This operation determinizes a weighted transducer. The result will be an equivalent FST that has the property that no state has two transitions with the same input label. For this algorithm, epsilon transitions are treated as regular symbols (cf. RmEpsilon).

The transducer must be functional. The weights must be (weakly) left divisible (valid for TropicalWeight and LogWeight).

Usage

template <class Arc>
void Determinize(MutableFst<Arc> *fst);
doc [bad link?]
template <class Arc> DeterminizeFst<Arc>::
DeterminizeFst(const Fst<Arc> &fst);
doc
fstdeterminize a.fst out.fst
 

Examples

A:

determinize1.jpg

Determinize of A:

determinize2.jpg

Determinize(&A);
DeterminizeFst<Arc>(A);
fstdeterminize a.fst out.fst

Complexity

Determinize:
  • Determinizable: exponential (polynomial in the size of the output)
  • Non-determinizable: does not terminate
DeterminizeFst:
  • Determinizable: exponential (polynomial in the size of the output)
  • Non-determinizable: does not terminate

The determinizable automata include all unweighted and all acyclic input.
