On the N best problem for hypergraphs

• We propose an algorithm for computing the $N$ best roots of a weighted hypergraph, in which the weight function is given over an idempotent and multiplicatively monotone semiring. We give a set of conditions that ensures that the weight function is well-defined and that solutions exist. Under these conditions, we prove that the proposed algorithm is correct.  This generalizes a previous result for weighted tree automata, and in doing so, broadens the practical applications.
