Hello,

Does someone have some support to this (found in the doc) :

Maximum Phrase Length

The maximum length of phrases is limited to 7 words. The maximum phrase 
length impacts the size of the phrase translation table, so shorter 
limits may be desirable, if phrase table size is an issue. Previous 
experiments have shown that performance increases only slightly when 
including phrases of more that 3 words.

Summary

     --max-phrase-length -- maximum length of phrases entered into 
phrase table (default 7)


If there is no major improvement above 3, why is the default 7, and is 
there a benchmark somewhere ?


Thanks
Vincent.
