Re: [Moses-support] Kenlm, lmplz, pruning singleton n-grams, mmapping error with build_binary

2013-08-21 Thread Jonathan Clark
Also, just to be nit-picky: lmplz implements Order-Interpolated Modified Kneser-Ney smoothing -- not Improved Kneser-Ney smoothing, which is a smoothing technique unique to irstlm -- IKN is referred to as modified shift beta in recent versions of IRSTLM. On Wed, Aug 21, 2013 at 3:20 AM, Marcin

Hi Jun, all: I just released a new version of MultEval (V0.5.1) that does not give the strange NaN's, but instead prints a warning message telling you that you're using a single optimizer run so that no value can be calculated and that any conclusions you draw from these numbers may be unreliable

As far as I know, exact modified Kneser-Ney smoothing (the current state of the art) is not supported by IRSTLM. IRSTLM instead implements modified shift-beta smoothing, which isn't quite as effective -- especially on smaller data sets. Cheers, Jon On Tue, Nov 6, 2012 at 1:08 PM, Marcin

[Moses-support] Moses Search Profiling

Hi all, I just noticed that the moses time reporting is rather misleading. We see lines: Collecting options took 13.390 seconds Search took 13.390 seconds Translation took 13.390 seconds However, the Search took X seconds count also includes collecting options, which seems wrong. I have a

that reports the total per-sentence processing time, including both collecting options and search. I'd just always assumed that the search time reported was that number, I figured that to get just the search time you could subtract the Collecting Options time.

Re: [Moses-support] Building Moses with statically linked libraries?

Kenneth, Would it be possible to add a --static flag to the build to explicitly request static linking or fail behavior? If static linking is truly desired, having to read lots of debug messages is a painful way of verifying that you have a static binary. Jon On Mon, Aug 6, 2012 at 10:03 AM,

That looks like an IRSTLM-format binary file. You might need the --text yes flag for compile-lm. You can confirm that the file is in the right format by opening it with a text viewer such as less. The ARPA format is defined here:
