Overview

About

Maintained by Athos Damiani1 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides bindings to part of the Flashlight's Text toolkit. The Flashlight Text R package contains beam search decoder, KenLM api, and Dictionary components. Jacob Kahn et al. (2022) arXiv:2201.12465 "Flashlight: Enabling Innovation in Tools for Machine Learning". Kenneth Heafield (2011) https://aclanthology.org/W11-2123.pdf "KenLM: Faster and Smaller Language Model Queries".

Install

R (source archive)Ubuntu (r2u)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/flashlighttext/flashlighttext_0.1.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "flashlighttext_0.1.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-flashlighttext

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make
