FATAL: NGramModel: bad ngram model topology

BenoitFavre - 10 Sep 2012 - 09:18

I generated an ngram model from a .arpa file with the following command:

ngramread --ARPA lm.arpa > lm.model

ngramread does not complain, but ngraminfo and trying to load the model from C++ code generate the following error:

FATAL: NGramModel: bad ngram model topology

How can I troubleshoot the problem?

Adding verbosity results in more mystery...

ngraminfo --v=2 lm.model INFO: FstImpl::ReadHeader: source: lm.model, fst_type: vector, arc_type: standard, version: 2, flags: 3 INFO: Incomplete # of ascending n-grams: 1377525 FATAL: NGramModel: bad ngram model topology

Hi,

that error is coming from a sanity check that verifies that every state in the language model (other than the start and unigram states) is reached by exactly one 'ascending' arc, that goes from a lower order to a higher order state. ARPA format models can diverge from this, by, for example, having 'holes' (e.g., bigrams pruned but trigrams with that bigram as a suffix retained). But ngramread should plug all of those. maybe duplication? I'll email you about this.
