Stochastic Estimation of Transduced Language Models
An unbiased sampler makes prefix probabilities tractable when a transducer maps many source strings to one target prefix. It matters mainly for specialized text or biological sequence systems.

Source Summary
The method samples source prefixes **without replacement** and corrects each with its inverse inclusion probability. Recursive correction yields an **unbiased estimator** and estimates probability mass lost through threshold pruning.
Practical Implication
Builders implementing transduced models can replace an unknown-error lower bound with an estimator whose compute and variance are measurable. The approach is most relevant when transformations admit exponentially many or infinite source strings.

The DNA-to-amino-acid case ran **several orders of magnitude** faster than threshold-pruned beam summing, but the supplied material gives no exact runtime or broader production results.
