Cannot train unigram model with Kneser-Ney #16

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
When I try to train a unigram Kneser-Ney model, I get the exception below. This 
is the offending line:

dotdotTypeCounts = new LongArray[maxNgramOrder - 2];

here is the exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException

Kneser-Ney smoothing doesn't make sense for a unigram model, unfortunately. I 
should probably do something reasonable when the user requests a unigram model, 
but I'm not sure that's a critical bug that I will find time to fix (this is no 
longer my day job, so I only fix critical bugs).

FYI: It also crashes when training a bigram model.
