Hello,

I noticed that one of my (sphinx3 in flatfwd mode) lattice showed following
edges

Nodes 14 (NODEID WORD STARTFRAME FIRST-ENDFRAME LAST-ENDFRAME)
0 92 94 96
1 +BABBLE+ 85 87 96
2 bhaat 80 92 96
3 +BG_NOISE+ 73 75 91
4 +AIR+ 73 91 96
5 67 69 93
6 <sil> 67 69 93</sil>

7 +AIR+ 63 65 90
8 bhaat 40 63 84
9 +BABBLE+ 8 10 14
10 bhaat 4 12 25
11 baajarii(2) 4 92 96
12 ananasa 3 35 96
13 0 2 17

Both /s and SIL have the same acoustic scores over the range.

Shouldn't /s have been deleted from the lattice knowing that it doesn't end in
the last frame?

  1. According to http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~archan/s_info/Sphinx3/doc/s3_description.html#sec_wordlat

    BestSegAscr section, a historical remnant now essentially empty

Could someone please confirm that, that info is outdated, in the sense that
the scores given in the lattice are 'reliable' (but un-normalized) scores?

Thanks.
