interpolate LM created with Kenlm with binary format and arpa format with weight 0.5 and 0.5 for each LM

[MohamedElrefai]

I have tried those commands for converting both to intermediate state to start interpolation of both language models

bin/lmplz -o 3  --intermediate set1.intermediate <lm.binary --skip_symbols
bin/lmplz -o 3  --intermediate set2.intermediate <data.arpa --skip_symbols
bin/interpolate -m set{1,2}.intermediate -w 0.5 0.5 >model.arpa

But it gives an ARPA lm with hashed words which seems due to the binary lm Is there any way to do the interpolation between two different formats?

Output looks like:

-7.998156 0 -7.995031 5æf„kÕROc¬ÇJáЯ:Ž0mJWI•„B#N2Ú?/CÞš|pMFÖõš!uÃôq0„t‹hÜv7×fŒŸÔa+z¥Ãp[‰ÖD£3ò~i8Í℔_—JBO -0.0000030237939 -7.995031 =õô*M -0.0000030237939 -7.995031 æUüÿ‚Œ€gœño®óŒ4þY¿AÇ¿ùø[êø7Âx{ -0.0000030237939 -7.995031 ždp–(µ€Î’Žp„Zà낔Kü^|wI€ÁKö. -0.0000030237939 -7.995031 j0žmzâFÅ¢$ÊÈ!e0$œ2²A

I have a different problem by doing a similar thing.

bin/lmplz -o 3  --intermediate set1.intermediate < model1.arpa --skip_symbols
bin/lmplz -o 3  --intermediate set2.intermediate < model2.arpa --skip_symbols --discount_fallback
bin/interpolate -m set{1,2}.intermediate -w 0.9 0.1 > mix_model.arpa

and here is the mix_model.arpa looks like this:

What are these lines with numbers only? I do the same thing with SRILM with the command below and I have a meaningful ARMA model.

ngram -lm model1.arpa -mix-lm model2.arpa -lambda 0.1 -write-lm mix_model.arpa

[saeidmokaram]

Also to mention the mix_model.arpa made with KenLM is significantly larger than the model1.arpa and model2.arpa. model1.arpa = 216.5 MB model2.arpa = 78.8 MB mix_model.arpa = 1.3 GB

Model mixed using SRILM is : mix_model.arpa = 223.9 MB

Any idea @kpu about this issue?
