First, in terms of standard libraries, you must have autotools, libtool, and Boost. If you are on Ubuntu/Debian linux, you can install them below:

$ sudo apt-get install autotools libtool libboost-all

You must install OpenFST separately.

Once these two packages are installed, run the following commands, specifying the correct path for openfst.

$ autoreconf -i
$ ./configure --with-openfst=/path/to/openfst
$ make

TODO

TODOs that need to be fixed before things are usable:

• Implement hierarchical LM that performs word segmentation
• Fix compile path for openfst
• Currently not performing interpolation for existing ngrams

TODOs that would be nice to fix:

• Trim nodes that have no customers
• Implement beam search/slice sampling
• Implement Metropolis-Hastings
• Ability to evaluate phoneme error rate during learning
• Unit tests
