Overview

Run SCTK in a Docker container. The SCTK includes the following tools:

• sclite

Docker Hub

The image is available on Docker Hub as smithmicro/sctk with the following tags:

• latest, 2, 2.4, 2.4.11 (Dockerfile)

sclite does not operate interactively, so by default, a container will simply print the help screen of program.

$ docker run -it smithmicro/sctk
sclite: <OPTIONS>
sclite Version: 2.10, SCTK Version: 1.3
Input Options:
...

Hypothesis Test

To run sclite on a reference file and hypothesis file, you need to map a volume to your host:

docker run -it -v /myhostpath:/var/sctk smithmicro/sctk sclite \
    -i wsj -r ref.txt -h hyp.txt

or, if you are on Linux or a Mac, use $PWD:

docker run -it -v $PWD:/var/sctk smithmicro/sctk sclite \
    -i wsj -r ref.txt -h hyp.txt

sc_stats

To run more advanced features of the SDK, shell into the container with a volume mapped to your local files:

docker run -it -v /myhostpath:/var/sctk smithmicro/sctk sh
/var/sctk #

Then run sclite piped to sc_stats:

sclite -i wsj -r ref.txt -h hyp1.txt -h hyp2.txt -o sgml stdout \
    | sc_stats -p -t mapsswe -u
sc_stats: 1.3
