=============================
MIT Language Modeling Toolkit
=============================
The MIT Language Modeling (MITLM) toolkit is a set of tools designed
for the efficient estimation of statistical n-gram language models
involving iterative parameter estimation. It achieves much of its
efficiency through the use of a compact vector representation of
n-grams. Details of the data structure and associated algorithms can
be found in the following paper.
* Bo-June (Paul) Hsu and James Glass. Iterative Language Model
Estimation: Efficient Data Structure & Algorithms. In
Proc. Interspeech, 2008.
Currently, MITLM supports the following features:
* Smoothing: Modified Kneser-Ney, Kneser-Ney, maximum likelihood
* Interpolation: Linear interpolation, count merging, generalized
linear interpolation
* Evaluation: Perplexity
* File formats: ARPA, binary, gzip, bz2
MITLM is available for download under the MIT License. It has been
built and tested on 32-bit and 64-bit Intel CPUs running Debian Linux
7.0. It currently requires the following:
* ANSI C++/Fortran compiler (GCC 4.7.1+)
For more information about MITLM, please visit:
https://code.google.com/p/mitlm/
If you find any BUG and/or want to provide a patch, please file an
issue about it at:
https://code.google.com/p/mitlm/issues/list
===================================
Installation from source repository
===================================
MITLM uses autoconf to detect environment features and configure
building. If you want to install from the source repository,
instead of downloading a packaged version, you will need the
following additional tools (these are not needed if you
install from a packaged version):
autoconf (>=2.69)
automake/aclocal
libtool
autoconf-archive
If you install from source repository, in order to create the
configure script, you will need to run (this is not needed if you
install from a packaged version):
./autogen.sh
Finally you can build and install MITLM using the standard procedure:
./configure
make
make install

The design and implementation of this toolkit benefited significantly
from the SRI Language Modeling Toolkit by Andreas Stolcke.
The vector library is partially derived from the Flexible Library for
Efficient Numerical Solutions by Michael Lehn.
