Interesting pre-print a couple of days ago…
Best-First Beam Search
Clara Meister, Ryan Cotterel, Tim Vieira
(Zurich, Cambridge, Johns Hopkins)
From what I gather its a relatively small change to the standard width-constrained beam search.
Just thought I’d mention it and ask if anyone had seen this and/or if anyone had any thoughts about whether it would be useful in the ctc decoder?
