fast-ctc-decode
Blitzing fast CTC decoding library.
$ pip install fast-ctc-decode
Usage
>>> from fast_ctc_decode import beam_search, viterbi_search
>>>
>>> alphabet = "NACGT"
>>> posteriors = np.random.rand(100, len(alphabet)).astype(np.float32)
>>>
>>> seq, path = viterbi_search(posteriors, alphabet)
>>> seq
'ACACTCGCAGCGCGATACGACTGATCGAGATATACTCAGTGTACACAGT'
>>>
>>> seq, path = beam_search(posteriors, alphabet, beam_size=5, beam_cut_threshold=0.1)
>>> seq
'ACACTCGCAGCGCGATACGACTGATCGAGATATACTCAGTGTACACAGT'

Developer Quickstart
$ git clone https://github.com/nanoporetech/fast-ctc-decode.git
$ cd fast-ctc-decode
$ pip install --user maturin
$ make test
Note: You'll need a recent rust compiler on your path to build the project.
By default, a fast (and less accurate) version of exponentiation is used for the 2D search. This can
be disabled by passing --cargo-extra-args="--no-default-features" to maturin, which provides more
accurate calculations but makes the 2D search take about twice as long.
Credits
The original 1D beam search implementation was developed by @usamec for deepnano-blitz.
The 2D beam search is based on @jordisr and @ihh work in their pair consensus decoding paper.

Research Release
Research releases are provided as technology demonstrators to provide early access to features or stimulate Community development of tools. Support for this software will be minimal and is only provided directly by the developers. Feature requests, improvements, and discussions are welcome and can be implemented by forking and pull requests. However much as we would like to rectify every issue and piece of feedback users may have, the developers may have limited resource for support of this software. Research releases may be unstable and subject to rapid iteration by Oxford Nanopore Technologies.
