Hi all Is there a way with moses to translate numbers by considering them as all part of the number category, but keeping the surface form intact ?
Let's say I have this in the learning corpus: 99|number bottles|noun of|prep beer|noun And I want to translate this: 98|number bottles|noun of|prep beer|noun If I train a model only on POS tags, it will only recognize the sequence "number noun prep noun" but not the surface forms. If I train it either only on the surface forms or on the combination of form+POS, it will not recognize that 98 can take the place of 99 ? The option I thought of is to replace numbers with just a "<number>" tag and then translate the surface forms. But then, keeping trace of which number it was is not very practical: I need to use a factor for this, and I must add it to each word ? -- Raphael Payen _______________________________________________ Moses-support mailing list Moses-support@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/moses-support
