Hi Angli,

Here is an excerpt of Hieu's answers regarding this topic when I was doing
research in factored models, might be of some help:

Hi all,

I would like to ask one more question. When you say that my reference only
has the surface form, are you talking about the "tuning corpus", which in
the case of my command

~/mosesdecoder/scripts/training/mert-moses.pl ~/working/IT_corpus/TMX/txt/
factored_corpus/singles/tuning_corpus.tagged.clean.en
~/working/IT_corpus/TMX/txt/factored_corpus/singles/tuning
_corpus.tagged.clean.sl ~/mosesdecoder/bin/moses
~/working/IT_corpus/TMX/txt/factored_corpus/singles/test/model/moses.ini
--mertdir ~/mosesdecoder/bin/ --decoder-flags="-threads all"

are tuning_corpus.tagged.clean.en and tuning_corpus.tagged.clean.sl? Can
tuning be done with files that only contains surface forms?

it's usual that the reference tuning data does not have factors, even if
there are factors in the phrase table. After all, you don't care if the
output surface form is correct but the other factors are wrong.

Will the results be compatible with tuning done with a factored tuning
corpus?

yes

Best regards,

Sašo
