Usage

hfst-guess [OPTIONS ...] [INFILE]

Overview

Use a guesser (and generator) to guess analyses or inflectional paradigms of unknown words.

Common options:

-h, --help

Print help message

-V, --version

Print version info

-v, --verbose

Print verbosely while processing

-q, --quiet

Only print fatal erros and requested output

-s, --silent

Alias of --quiet

Input/Output options:

-i, --input=INFILE

Read input transducer from INFILE

-o, --output=OUTFILE

Write output transducer to OUTFILE

Guesser options:

-f, --model-form-filename

Inflectional information for generated model forms is read from this file.

-n, --max-number-of-guesses

Maximal number of analysis per word form (5 by default).

-m --max-number-of-forms

Maximal number of generated model forms per guess (2 by default).

-g --generate-threshold

Generate only forms whose weight is better than the weight of the of the best form plus this threshold. (50 by default).

The guesser and generator should be constructed using the tool hfst-guessify, which can compile a guesser and generator from a morphological analyzer. hfst-guessify packages the guesser and generator in the same fst-file.

If option -f is used, but a generator has not been compiled with the guesser, a generator will be compiled, which will increase load time.

If OUTFILE or INFILE is missing or -, standard streams will be used.
