KullbackLeibler¶
- corpustools.kl.kl.KullbackLeibler(corpus_context, seg1, seg2, side, outfile=None, stop_check=False, call_back=False)[source]¶
Calculates KL distances between two Phoneme objects in some context, either the left or right-hand side. Segments with identical distributions (ie. seg1==seg2) have a KL of zero. Segments with similar distributions therefore have low numbers, so high numbers indicate possible allophones.
- Parameters
- corpus_contextCorpusContext
Context manager for a corpus
- seg1str
First segment
- seg2str
Second segment
- sidestr
One of ‘right’, ‘left’ or ‘both’
- outfilestr
Full path to save output
- stop_checkcallable or None
Optional function to check whether to gracefully terminate early
- call_backcallable or None
