LSTM（Long Short-Term Memory，长短时记忆网络）是一种特殊的循环神经网络（RNN），由Hochreiter和Schmidhuber在1997年提出。它旨在解决传统RNN在处理长距离依赖问题时出现的梯度消失和梯度爆炸问题。以下是LSTM的一些主要特点：

1. 细胞状态（Cell State）：LSTM的核心是细胞状态，它贯穿整个LSTM网络，使得信息可以在网络中长时间传递。

2. 门结构（Gates）：LSTM通过门结构来控制信息的流入、流出和遗忘。主要包括以下三个门：

   • 遗忘门（Forget Gate）：决定从细胞状态中丢弃什么信息。
   • 输入门（Input Gate）：决定哪些新的信息被存储在细胞状态中。
   • 输出门（Output Gate）：决定从细胞状态中输出什么信息。

3. 梯度消失和梯度爆炸问题的缓解：由于LSTM的门结构，它能够在长序列中保持稳定的梯度，从而有效地缓解梯度消失和梯度爆炸问题。

CRF（Conditional Random Field，条件随机场）是一种概率图模型，常用于自然语言处理（NLP）中的序列标注任务，如词性标注、命名实体识别（NER）等。CRF模型能够考虑上下文信息，对序列中的每个元素（如词语）进行标注，使得整个序列的标注结果尽可能合理。

以下是CRF的一些关键特点：

1. 无向图：CRF是一种无向图模型，它假设序列中的每个元素与其相邻元素之间存在依赖关系。

2. 条件概率：CRF模型定义了一个条件概率分布，它表示在给定输入序列的情况下，输出标签序列的概率。

3. 特征函数：CRF模型使用特征函数来描述输入与输出之间的关系。特征函数可以是基于输入序列和输出标签的任意函数，例如当前词、前后词、词性等。

4. 全局最优标注：CRF在预测时会考虑整个序列的信息，寻找全局最优的标签序列，而不是单独对每个元素进行最优标注。

5. 训练与解码：CRF的训练通常使用最大似然估计，而解码（即预测）时通常使用维特比算法（Viterbi algorithm）来找到最有可能的标签序列。

CRF模型的结构通常包括以下两个部分：

• 发射特征（Emission Features）：这些特征与输入序列中的每个元素相关，描述了输入元素与其对应标签的关系。
• 转移特征（Transition Features）：这些特征描述了标签序列中相邻标签之间的关系。

CRF模型的优势在于它能够有效地利用上下文信息，并且能够通过特征函数灵活地定义输入与输出之间的关系。这使得CRF在处理序列标注问题时通常比其他模型（如基于规则的模型或简单的概率模型）表现得更好。

Score计算

def compute_score(emissions, tags, seq_ends, mask, trans, start_trans, end_trans):
    # emissions: (seq_length, batch_size, num_tags)
    # tags: (seq_length, batch_size)
    # mask: (seq_length, batch_size)

    seq_length, batch_size = tags.shape
    mask = mask.astype(emissions.dtype)

    # 将score设置为初始转移概率
    # shape: (batch_size,)
    score = start_trans[tags[0]]
    # score += 第一次发射概率
    # shape: (batch_size,)
    score += emissions[0, mnp.arange(batch_size), tags[0]]

    for i in range(1, seq_length):
        # 标签由i-1转移至i的转移概率（当mask == 1时有效）
        # shape: (batch_size,)
        score += trans[tags[i - 1], tags[i]] * mask[i]

        # 预测tags[i]的发射概率（当mask == 1时有效）
        # shape: (batch_size,)
        score += emissions[i, mnp.arange(batch_size), tags[i]] * mask[i]

    # 结束转移
    # shape: (batch_size,)
    last_tags = tags[seq_ends, mnp.arange(batch_size)]
    # score += 结束转移概率
    # shape: (batch_size,)

Normalizer计算

def compute_normalizer(emissions, mask, trans, start_trans, end_trans):

    # 将score设置为初始转移概率，并加上第一次发射概率
    # shape: (batch_size, num_tags)
    score = start_trans + emissions[0]

    for i in range(1, seq_length):
        # 扩展score的维度用于总score的计算
        # shape: (batch_size, num_tags, 1)
        broadcast_score = score.expand_dims(2)

        # 扩展emission的维度用于总score的计算
        # shape: (batch_size, 1, num_tags)
        broadcast_emissions = emissions[i].expand_dims(1)

        # 根据公式(7)，计算score_i
        # 此时broadcast_score是由第0个到当前Token所有可能路径
        # 对应score的log_sum_exp
        # shape: (batch_size, num_tags, num_tags)
        next_score = broadcast_score + trans + broadcast_emissions

        # 对score_i做log_sum_exp运算，用于下一个Token的score计算
        # shape: (batch_size, num_tags)
        next_score = ops.logsumexp(next_score, axis=1)

        # 当mask == 1时，score才会变化
        # shape: (batch_size, num_tags)
        score = mnp.where(mask[i].expand_dims(1), next_score, score)

    # 最后加结束转移概率
    # shape: (batch_size, num_tags)
    score += end_trans
    # 对所有可能的路径得分求log_sum_exp
    # shape: (batch_size,)
    return ops.logsumexp(score, axis=1)

def viterbi_decode(emissions, mask, trans, start_trans, end_trans):
    # emissions: (seq_length, batch_size, num_tags)

        broadcast_emission = emissions[i].expand_dims(1)
        next_score = broadcast_score + trans + broadcast_emission

        # 求当前Token对应score取值最大的标签，并保存
        indices = next_score.argmax(axis=1)
        history += (indices,)

        next_score = next_score.max(axis=1)
        score = mnp.where(mask[i].expand_dims(1), next_score, score)
