Load an ARPA format language model and score a sentence.

import kenlm model = kenlm.Model('test.arpa') score = model.score('hello world', bos=True, eos=True) print(f'Score: {score}') full_scores = list(model.full_scores('hello world', bos=True, eos=True)) print(f'Full scores: {full_scores}')

Known issues

gotchaThe Model class is not directly importable; use `import kenlm` then `kenlm.Model`.

fix

Always use `import kenlm; model = kenlm.Model('path')`.

affects: all

gotchaFull scores are returned as a generator; must be converted to list for indexing.

fix

Use `list(model.full_scores(...))` to access individual n-gram scores.

affects: all

fix

Install Cython and build from source on arm64/aarch64: `pip install cython; pip install kenlm --no-binary kenlm`.
