Julius

4.1.2 is a bug fix release. It includes many fixes for N-gram. It now allows over 2GB N-gram, improved support for SRILM, and correct handling of unknown words. Some bugs and improvements that has been reported on the Forum has been also fixed.

[SRILM support]
- Added swapping "<s>" and "</s>" when reading BACKWARD ARPA file trained by SRILM. It will be automatically detected. If detection fails, you can specify an option "-swap" in mkbingram to do that.
- Internally modify the unigram probability of "<s>" or "</s>", since they may be set to "-99" in SRILM model. The same value as opposite will be assigned.
[N-gram]
- Size limit extended from 2GB to 4GB for big N-gram.
- "<unk>" and "<UNK>" can be changed by "-mapunk".
- More strict check for unknown words: Julius now terminates with error when dictionary has OOV words and N-gram is not open (no unk word).
