I'm attempting to track down an edit distance algorithm that is supposedly implemented in MALLET.
I want to use the CRF edit distance algorithm as described here (by Andrew McCallum et al). The authors confirm its Mallet inclusion here in the FST class:
The model has been implemented as part of the finite-state transducer classes in Mallet.
However, neither the FST tutorial page - which shows an NER tagger - or the test cases are of any help, at least that I can see.
Questions:
- Where can I find the implementation of the edit distance CRF algorithm in Mallet?
- How can I use it?
