+# 构建iOS平台上的PaddlePaddle库
+交叉编译iOS平台上适用的PaddlePaddle库，需要在MacOS系统上进行。本文的将介绍在MacOS上，从源码交叉编译iOS平台上适用的PaddlePaddle库。
+
+## 准备交叉编译环境
+Apple官方为iOS开发提供了完整的交叉编译工具和集成开发环境，用户从App Store下载安装Xcode即可。也可自行前往官网下载，[Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/cn/xcode/)。安装完成之后，可在命令行执行`xcodebuild -version`，判断是否安装成功。
+
+```bash
+$ xcodebuild -version
+Xcode 9.0
+Build version 9A235
+```
+
+## 配置交叉编译参数
+
+PaddlePaddle为交叉编译提供了工具链配置文档[cmake/cross_compiling/ios.cmake](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/cmake/cross_compiling/ios.cmake)，以提供一些默认的编译器和编译参数配置。
+
+交叉编译iOS版本的PaddlePaddle库时，有一些必须配置的参数：
+
+- `CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME`，CMake编译的目标平台，必须设置为`iOS`。在设置`CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=iOS`后，PaddlePaddle的CMake系统会自动编译所有的第三方依赖库，并且强制设置一些PaddlePaddle参数的值（`WITH_C_API=ON`、`WITH_GPU=OFF`、`WITH_AVX=OFF`、`WITH_PYTHON=OFF`、`WITH_RDMA=OFF`）。
+- `WITH_C_API`，是否编译C-API预测库，必须设置为ON。在iOS平台上只支持使用C-API来预测。
+- `WITH_SWIG_PY`，必须设置为ON。在iOS平台上不支持通过swig调用来训练或者预测。
+
+iOS平台可选配置参数：
+
+- `IOS_PLATFORM`，可设置为`OS/SIMULATOR`，默认值为`OS`。
+  - `OS`，构建目标为`arm`架构的iPhone或者iPad等物理设备。
+  - `SIMULATOR`，构建目标为`x86`架构的模拟器平台。
+- `IOS_ARCH`，目标架构。针对不同的`IOS_PLATFORM`，可设置的目标架构如下表所示：
+
+   | IOS_PLATFORM | IOS_ARCH             |
+   |--------------|----------------------|
+   |   OS         | armv7, armv7s, arm64 (默认) |
+   | SIMULATOR    | i386, x86_64 (默认)         |   
+
+- `IOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET`，最小的iOS部署版本，默认值为`7.0`。
+- `IOS_ENABLE_BITCODE`，是否使能[Bitcode](https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/AppThinning/AppThinning.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012582-CH35-SW3)，可设置`ON/OFF`，默认值为`ON`。
+- `IOS_USE_VECLIB_FOR_BLAS`，是否使用[vecLib](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/accelerate/veclib)框架进行BLAS矩阵计算，可设置`ON/OFF`，默认值为`OFF`。
+- `IOS_DEVELOPMENT_ROOT`，`Developer`目录，可显式指定为`/path/to/platform/Developer`。若未显式指定，PaddlePaddle将会根据`IOS_PLATFORM`自动选择`Xcode`对应`platform`的`Developer`目录。
+- `IOS_SDK_ROOT`，所使用`SDK`的根目录，可显式指定为`/path/to/platform/Developer/SDKs/SDK`。若未显式指定，PaddlePaddle将会自动选择`IOS_DEVELOPMENT_ROOT`目录下最新的`SDK`版本。
+
+其他配置参数：
+
+- `USE_EIGEN_FOR_BLAS`，是否使用Eigen库进行矩阵计算，在`IOS_USE_VECLIB_FOR_BLAS=OFF`时有效。可设置`ON/OFF`，默认值为`OFF`。
+- `HOST_C/CXX_COMPILER`，宿主机的C/C++编译器。默认值为环境变量`CC/CXX`的值；若环境变量`CC/CXX`未设置，则使用`cc/c++`编译器。
+
+常用的cmake配置如下：
+
+```bash
+cmake -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=iOS \
+      -DIOS_PLATFORM=OS \
+      -DIOS_ARCH="arm64" \
+      -DIOS_ENABLE_BITCODE=ON \
+      -DIOS_USE_VECLIB_FOR_BLAS=ON \
+      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=your/path/to/install \
+      -DWITH_C_API=ON \
+      -DWITH_TESTING=OFF \
+      -DWITH_SWIG_PY=OFF \
+      ..
+```
+
+```bash
+cmake -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=iOS \
+      -DIOS_PLATFORM=SIMULATOR \
+      -DIOS_ARCH="x86_64" \
+      -DIOS_USE_VECLIB_FOR_BLAS=ON \
+      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=your/path/to/install \
+      -DWITH_C_API=ON \
+      -DWITH_TESTING=OFF \
+      -DWITH_SWIG_PY=OFF \
+      ..
+```
+
+用户还可根据自己的需求设置其他编译参数。比如希望最小化生成库的大小，可以设置`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`为`MinSizeRel`；若希望得到最快的执行速度，则可设置`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`为`Release`。亦可以通过手动设置`CMAKE_C/CXX_FLAGS`来影响PaddlePaddle的编译过程。
+
+**性能TIPS**，为了达到最快的计算速度，在CMake参数配置上，有以下建议：
+
+- 设置`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`为`Release`
+- 设置`IOS_USE_VECLIB_FOR_BLAS=ON`，调用`vecLib`框架提供的BLAS函数进行矩阵计算。
+
+## 编译和安装
+
+CMake配置完成后，执行以下命令，PaddlePaddle将自动下载和编译所有第三方依赖库、编译和安装PaddlePaddle预测库。
+
+```
+$ make
+$ make install
+```
+
+注意：如果你曾在源码目录下编译过其他平台的PaddlePaddle库，请先使用`rm -rf`命令删除`third_party`目录和`build`目录，以确保所有的第三方依赖库和PaddlePaddle代码都是针对新的CMake配置重新编译的。
+
+执行完安装命令后，`your/path/to/install`目录中会包含以下内容：
+
+- `include`目录，其中包含所有C-API的头文件
+- `lib`目录，其中包含PaddlePaddle的C-API静态库
+- `third_party`目录，其中包含所依赖的所有第三方库
+
+注意，不同架构的PaddlePaddle库建议安装到不同的目录下，然后使用`lipo`工具将多个静态库合并成一个支持多个架构的fat库。
+
+自此，PaddlePaddle库已经安装完成，用户可将合成的fat库用于深度学习相关的iOS App中，调用方法见C-API文档。

+
+Linear chain CRF is a special case of CRF that is useful for sequence labeling
+task. Sequence labeling tasks do not assume a lot of conditional
+independences among inputs. The only constraint they impose is that the input
+and output must be linear sequences. Thus, the graph of such a CRF is a simple
+chain or a line, which results in the linear chain CRF.
+
+This operator implements the Forward-Backward algorithm for the linear chain
+CRF. Please see http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~mcollins/fb.pdf and
+http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~elkan/250Bwinter2012/loglinearCRFs.pdf for reference.
+
+Equation:
+
+- Denote Input(Emission) to this operator as \f$x\f$ here.
+- The first D values of Input(Transition) to this operator are for starting
+weights, denoted as \f$a\f$ here.
+- The next D values of Input(Transition) of this operator are for ending
+weights, denoted as \f$b\f$ here.
+- The remaning values of Input(Transition) are for transition weights,
+denoted as \f$w\f$ here.
+- Denote Input(Label) as \f$s\f$ here.
+
+The probability of a sequence \f$s\f$ of length \f$L\f$ is defined as:
+\f$P(s) = (1/Z) exp(a_{s_1} + b_{s_L}
+                 + \sum_{l=1}^L x_{s_l}
+                 + \sum_{l=2}^L w_{s_{l-1},s_l})\f$
+where \f$Z\f$ is a normalization value so that the sum of \f$P(s)\f$ over
+all possible sequences is \f$1\f$, and \f$x\f$ is the emission feature weight
+to the linear chain CRF.
+
+Finaly, the linear chain CRF operator outputs the logarithm of the conditional
+likelihood of each training sample in a mini-batch.
+
+NOTE:
+1. The feature function for a CRF is made up of the emission features and the
+transition features. The emission feature weights are NOT computed in
+this operator. They MUST be computed first before this operator is called.
+
+2. Because this operator performs global normalization over all possible
+sequences internally, it expects UNSCALED emission feature weights.
+Please do not call this op with the emission feature being output of any
+nonlinear activation.
+
+3. The 2nd dimension of Input(Emission) MUST be equal to the tag number.
