[Moses-support] Phrase table lexical scores

2011-03-10 Thread Markus Saers
Hello, I'm wondering about how the lexical scores in the phrase table are calculated. I have some memory of hearing someone say something like "It's just IBM model 1 scores for the phrase pair", which could be interpreted in so many ways... and now that I look at the Moses documentation online it

Hi Felipe Multi-threading support has very recently been added to moses chart, so you need the latest svn version. You also need to build moses with threading enables (run ./configure --help to see the arguments). You can check if it's working by running top and verifying that cpu usage is abov

Hi, if you are planning to run MERT on a single multi-core machine, then you should use multi-threaded Moses, which will be much simpler and likely even be faster that running processes in parallel. -phi 2011/3/10 Felipe Sánchez Martínez : > Hi, > >> not that I know. However, assuming you want t

Hi Felipe If you're running on a single machine then you're better off using multi- threaded moses, since it will use less memory than running multi-process, best regards Barry On Thursday 10 Mar 2011 18:15:07 Felipe Sánchez Martínez wrote: > Hi, > > > not that I know. However, assuming you wa
