PyTorch edit-distance functions

PyTorch edit-distance functions

Useful functions for E2E Speech Recognition training with PyTorch and CUDA.

Here is a simple use case with Reinforcement Learning and RNN-T loss:

blank = torch.tensor([0], dtype=torch.int).cuda()
space = torch.tensor([1], dtype=torch.int).cuda()

xs = model.greedy_decode(xs, sampled=True)

torch_edit_distance.remove_blank(xs, xn, blank)

rewards = 1 - torch_edit_distance.compute_wer(xs, ys, xn, yn, blank, space)

nll = rnnt_loss(zs, ys, xn, yn)

loss = nll * rewards

levenshtein_distance

Levenshtein edit-distance with detailed statistics for ins/del/sub operations.

collapse_repeated

Merge repeated tokens, useful for CTC-based model.

remove_blank

Remove unnecessary blank tokens, useful for CTC, RNN-T, RNA models.

strip_separator

Remove leading, trailing and repeated middle separators.
