What is a SYMS file?
SYMS files mostly belong to Kaldi. A
*.SYMS file stores a symbol table, which maps textual symbols to numerical identifiers. In the context of speech recognition toolkits like Kaldi, these symbols often represent phonetic units or other linguistic elements. The symbol table is crucial for efficient storage and processing of linguistic data within the speech recognition system. Different internal formats exist for *.SYMS files, depending on the specific software using them. For example, Kaldi primarily uses a plain text format for its symbol tables, while other tools might employ more compact binary formats. The *.SYMS file enables the software to quickly convert between textual representations of linguistic units and their corresponding numerical IDs, which are used internally during model training and decoding.How to open SYMS files
