  Predeterminization

    This is a function that makes an FST compactly determinizable by inserting
  symbols on the input side as necessary for disambiguation.  Note that we do
  not treat epsilon as a real symbol when measuring determinizability in this
  sense.   The extra symbols are added to the vocabulary, on the input side;
  these are of the form (prefix)1, (prefix)2, and so on without limit, where
  (prefix) is some prefix the user provides, e.g. '#' (the function checks that
  this will not lead to conflicts with symbols already in the FST).  The
  function tells us how many such symbols it created.

   Note that there is a paper "Generalized optimization algorithm for speech
  recognition transducers" by Allauzen and Mohri, that deals with a similar
  issue, but this is a very different algorithm that only aims to ensure
  determinizability, but not *compact* determinizability.

   Our algorithm is slightly heuristic, and probably not optimal, but does
  ensure that the output is compactly determinizable, possibly at the expense of
  inserting unnecessary symbols.  We considered more sophisticated algorithms,
  but these were extremely complicated and would give the same output for the
  kinds of inputs that we envisage.

   Suppose the input FST is T.  We want to ensure that in det(T), if we consider
  the states of det(T) as weighted subsets of states of T, each state of T only
  appears once in any given subset.  This ensures that det(T) is no larger than
  T in an appropriate sense.  The way we do this is as follows.  We identify all
  states in T that have multiple input transitions (counting "being an initial
  state" as an input transition). Let's call these "problematic" states.  For a
  problematic state p we stipulate that it can never appear in any state of
  det(T) unless that state equals (p, \bar{1}) [i.e. p, unweighted].  In order
  to ensure this, we insert input symbols on the transitions to these
   problematic states (this may necessitate adding extra states).
      We also stipulate that the path through det(T) should always be sufficient
  to tell us the path through T (and we insert extra symbols sufficient to make
  this so).  This is to simplify the algorithm, so that we don't have to
  consider the output symbols or weights when predeterminizing.

   The algorithm is as follows.

    (A) Definitions

      (i)  Define a *problematic state* as a state that either has multiple
  input transitions, or is an initial state and has at least one input
  transition.

     (ii)  For an arc a, define:
            i[a] = input symbol on a
            o[a] = output symbol on a
            n[a] = dest-state of a
            p[a] = origin-state of a

           For a state q, define
            E[q] = set of transitions leaving q.
           For a set of states Q, define
            E[Q] = set of transitions leaving some q in Q

    (iii)  For a state s, define Closure(s) as the union of state s, and all
  states t that are reachable via sequences of arcs a such that i[a]=epsilon and
  n[a] is not problematic.

           For a set of states S, define Closure(S) as the union of the closures
  of states s in S.

    (B) Inputs and outputs.

     (i) Inputs and preconditions.  Input is an FST, which should have a symbol
  table compiled into it, and a prefix (e.g. #) for symbols to be added.  We
  check that the input FST is trim, and that it does not have any symbols that
  appear on its arcs, that are equal to the prefix followed by digits.

    (ii) Outputs: The algorithm modifies the FST that is given to it, and
  returns the number of the highest numbered "extra symbol" inserted.  The extra
  symbols are numbered #1, #2 and so on without limit (as integers).  They are
  inserted into the symbol table in a sequential way by calling AvailableKey()
         for each in turn (this is stipulated in case we need to keep other
  symbol tables in sync).

     (C) Sub-algorithm: Closure(S).  This requires the array p(s), defined
  below, which is true if s is problematic.  This also requires, for efficiency,
  that the arcs be sorted on input label. Input: a set of states S.  [plus, the
  fst and the array p]. Output: a set of states T. Algorithm: set T <-- S, Q <--
  S. while Q is nonempty: pop a state s from Q. for each transition a from state
  s with epsilon on the input label [we can find these efficiently using the
  sorting on arcs]: If p(n[a]) is false and n[a] is not in T: Insert n[a] into
  T. Add n[a] to Q. return T.


     (D) Main algorithm.


       (i) (a) Check preconditions (FST is trim)
           (b) Make sure there is just one final state (insert epsilon
  transitions as necessary). (c) Sort arcs on input label (so epsilon arcs are
  at the start of arc lists).


      (ii) Work out the set of problematic states by constructing a boolean
  array indexed by states, i.e. p(s) which is true if the state is problematic.
  We can do this by constructing an array t(s) to store the number of
  transitions into each state [adding one for the initial state], and then
  setting p(s) = true if t(s) > 1.

           Also create a boolean array d(s), defined for states, and set d(s) =
  false. This array is purely for sanity-checking that we are processing each
  state exactly once.

     (iii) Set up an array of integers m(a), indexed by arcs (how exactly we
  store these is implementation-dependent, but this will probably be a hash from
  (state, arc-index) to integers.  m(a) will store the extra symbol, if any, to
  be added to that arc (or -1 if no such symbol; we can also simply have the arc
  not present in the hash).  The initial value of m(a) is -1 (if array), or
  undefined (if hash).

      (iv) Initialize a set of sets-of-states S, and a queue of pairs Q, as
  follows. The pairs in Q are a pair of (set-of-states, integer), where the
  integer is the number of "special symbols" already used up for that state.

            Note that we use a special indexing for the sets in both S and Q,
  rather than using std::set.  We use a sorted vector of StateId's.  And in S,
  we index them by the lowest-numbered state-id.  Because each state is supposed
  to only ever be a member of one set, if there is an attempt to add another,
  different set with the same lowest-numbered state-id, we detect an error.

            Let I be the single initial state (OpenFST only supports one).
            We set:
              S = { Closure(I) }
              Push (Closure(I), 0)  onto Q.
            Then for each state s such that p(s) = true, and s is not an initial
  state: S <-- S u { Closure(s) } Push (Closure(s), 0)  onto Q.

       (v) While Q is nonempty:

          (a) Pop pair (A, n) from Q (queue discipline is arbitrary).

          (b) For each state s in A, check that d(s) is false, and set d(s) to
  true. This is for sanity checking only.

          (c)
             Let S_\eps be the set of epsilon-transitions from members of A to
  problematic states (i.e. S_\eps = \{ a \in E[A]: i[a]=\epsilon, p(n[a]) = true
  \}).

             Next, we will define, for each t \neq \epsilon, S_t as the set of
               transitions from some state s in S with t as the input label,
  i.e.: S_t = \{ a \in E[A]: i[a] = t \} We further define T_t and U_t as the
  subsets of S where the destination state is problematic and non-problematic
  respectively, i.e: T_t = \{ a \in E[A]: i[a] = t, p(n[a]) = true \} U_t = \{ a
  \in E[A]: i[a] = t, p(n[a]) = false \}

             The easiest way to obtain these sets is probably to have a hash
  indexed by t that maps to a list of pairs (state, arc-offset) that stores S_t.
               From this we can work out the sizes of T_t and U_t on the fly.

         (d)
             for each transition a in S_\eps:
                m(a) <-- n # Will put symbol n on this transition.
                n <-- n+1  # Note, same n as in pair (A, n)

         (e)
             next,
             for each t\neq epsilon s.t. S_t is nonempty,

                if |S_t| > 1 #if-statement is because if |S_t|=|T_t|=1, no need
  for prefix. k = 0 for each transition a in T_t: set m(a) to k. set k = k+1

                if |U_t| > 0
                   Let V_t be the set of destination-states of arcs in U_t.
                   if Closure(V_t) is not in S:
                     insert Closure(V_t) into S, and add the pair (Closure(V_t),
  k) to Q.

       (vi) Check that for each state in the FST, d(s) = true.

      (vii) Let n = max_a m(a).  This is the highest-numbered extra symbol
  (extra symbols start from zero, in this numbering which doesn't correspond to
  the symbol-table numbering).  Here we add n+1 extra symbols to the symbol
  table and store the mappings from 0, 1, ... n to the symbol-id.

     (viii) Set up a hash h from (state, int) to (state-id) such that
             t = h(s, k)
            will be the state-id of a newly-created state that has a transition
  to state s with input-label #k.

      (ix) For each arc a such that m(a) != 0:
             If i[a] = epsilon (the input label is epsilon):
                Change i[a] to #m(a). [i.e. prefix then digit m(a)]
             Otherwise:
                If t = h(n[a], m(a)) is not defined [where n[a] is the
  dest-state]: create a new state t with a transition to n[a], with input-label
  #m(a) and no output-label or weight.  Set h(n[a], m(a)) = t. Change n[a] to
  h(n[a], m(a)).
