Re: [Moses-support] default inputtype changed?

Hi all, I would greatly appreciate an explanation regarding this input type stuff. The latest mert-moses.pl only explains input types 0-2, which are plain text, confusion networks and lattices. Where is the difference between confusion networks and lattices? What does type 3 mean? Why should th

Hi! Thank you for the quick answer! I am right, then, that string->tree is equivalent to simultaneous parsing and translation? Best,   Thomas Von: Lane Schwartz An: Thomas Schoenemann CC: "moses-support@mit.edu" Gesendet: 20:17 Freitag,

[Moses-support] Newbie question: what category is Hiero?

Hi everyone,  there is quite a discussion about  hierarchical and syntax-based approaches here at the moment. For lack of time I could not follow it closely, so I hope this question contributes to the discussion rather than being superfluous: in terms of {tree/string} -> {tree/string}, how woul

Re: [Moses-support] Parameter ranges in MERT

Hi! That's also the impression I got from a more thorough code review today. I will work on implementing a positivity constraint, without changing the default behaviour (in my own branch). Best,   Thomas Von: Barry Haddow An: Thomas Schoenemann

[Moses-support] Parameter ranges in MERT

Hi everyone,  can anyone tell me if the current MERT implementation should respect parameter ranges? It does require to input them, but to my knowledge these ranges are ignored. Except for the word penalty I think all weights should be positive. Yet, I often get negative ones from MERT, and

[Moses-support] Removing duplicates when merging nbest lists for MERT

Hi everyone! We all know that MERT gets slower in the later iterations. This is not surprising as the n-best lists of all previous iterations are merged. I believe this is quite important for translation performance. Still, it seems important to me to get the merged lists as small as possible.

[Moses-support] Question on the code (mert)

Hi everybody! I hope this is the right place to ask this. If not, please correct me. I have a question on the file Optimizer.cpp in the directory mert (latest svn version). Specifically, this affects line 379 and the following ones: Point direction; for(unsigned int i=0;ihttp:
