LMing/Rules

A baseline based on language modelling and rules

ipavlopoulos

This baseline used a simple rule, to replace " ς " (final s) with a proper correction. Visualised the training data, trained a statistical language model to pick the correction and changed only texts that comprise the error.  

LMing-Rules baseline

  • Using language modeling.
  • Using rules, extracted from the training data.

Frequently mistaken tokens

In [13]:
LEX = train.HUMAN_TRANSCRIPTION.sum().split()
In [18]:
from collections import Counter
broken_words = [w for w in train.SYSTEM_TRANSCRIPTION.sum().split() if w not in set(LEX)]
x,y = zip(*Counter(broken_words).most_common(10))
pd.DataFrame({"mistaken":x, "occurrences":y}).plot.barh(x="mistaken");

Picking one, one that can be fixed without much ambiguity.

The method

Exploring the mistakes, two are the easier fixes: merge with the previous word (i.e., this is a final character, which makes sense) or delete. To pick out of the two, we ask the LM.

In [22]:
def lmr(text, word=" ς ", replacements=["ς ", " "], lm=lm):
    scores = []
    for the_candidate in replacements:
        scores.append(lm.cross_entropy(text.replace(word, the_candidate)))
    text_out = text.replace(word, replacements[scores.index(min(scores))])
    return text_out
    
lmr("ως ω ς αὐτοῦ ον πος τοῦ χυ καιρήε,")
Out[22]:
'ως ως αὐτοῦ ον πος τοῦ χυ καιρήε,'
