Hi Renu
If you run without "--text yes" then you will get an IRSTLM binary file,
as the error message shows, so you don't have to run step 6. This file
is different from a KenLM binary file. You can also use the IRSTLM
binary file in Moses, as long as you adjust moses.ini to tell Moses what
type of LM you have.
However, I was suggesting running with just the "--text" argument (i.e.
just remove the "yes") to see if that still works,

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
Yes, I am using the Moses baseline instructions
(http://www.statmt.org/moses/?n=Moses.Baseline).
I tried this option too, if I run the command without '--text yes'
option then the command runs fine, However I wanted to ask one thing
does this give me an arpa file or a binarized one? Because when I run
the next command mentioned in the manual:
6. /home/renu/Desktop/mosesdecoder/bin/build_binary
news-commentary-v8.fr-en.arpa.en news-commentary-v8.fr-en.blm.en
*I get the following output:*

*This looks like an IRSTLM binary file. Did you forget to pass --text

ERROR
The last second line put in bold indicates that the one I am using is
a binary file.
Does that mean I already have a binary file and I do not need to use
step 6 mentioned above (which infact is for converting from arpa to
binary file)
However, I did not try to run it by keeping '--text' and
removing 'yes' from the command. I will try this as well.
Thanks
Renu

IRSTLM language model Training
Hi
It looks like you are following the Moses baseline instructions
(http://www.statmt.org/moses/?n=Moses.Baseline). It's not
explained, but step 5 should convert the IRSTLM iARPA file
produced by step 4 to a (standard) ARPA file. The following step
will then binarise it with KenLM.
The command you ran is
/home/renu/Desktop/irstlm/bin/compile-lm --text yes
news-commentary-v8.fr-en.lm.en.gz news-commentary-v8.fr-en.arpa.en
I notice that someone added a "yes" to this command in the
documentation recently (November 13th). Does it work if you don't
include "yes"?
IRSTLM folks - can you clarify? Does the '--text' parameter
require a 'yes' argument? The usage for the command suggests it
does, but it used to work without,
cheers - Barry

Hi,
I am building the baseline system based on Moses manual
instructions.
I have installed Moses, GIZA++ and IRSTLM as mentioned in the
manual.
The corpus preparation (tokenization, ...cleaning) steps also
goes well.
However when I move to Language Model Training: I have some problems
I am following these steps:
1. mkdir ~/lm
2. cd ~/lm
3. /home/renu/Desktop/irstlm/bin/add-start-end.sh <
/home/renu/Desktop/corpus/news-commentary-v8.fr-en.true.en>
news-commentary-v8.fr-en.sb.en
4. export IRSTLM=/home/renu/Desktop/irstlm;
/home/renu/Desktop/irstlm/bin/build-lm.sh -i
news-commentary-v8.fr-en.sb.en -t ./tmp -p -s improved-kneser-ney
-o news-commentary-v8.fr-en.lm.en
5. /home/renu/Desktop/irstlm/bin/compile-lm --text yes
news-commentary-v8.fr-en.lm.en.gz news-commentary-v8.fr-en.arpa.en
Steps 1-4 work well but step 5 gives me -------(Warning:Too many
parameters)
I have searched the web for any possible solution but could not
find any.
I am not able to move ahead, kindly help.
Thanks
Renu
