Hi Marcin, It stops the loop for producing n-best translations from the search graph after a maximum of (nBestFactor * desiredNBestSize) iterations. Depending on the value of nBestFactor and the amount of identical candidates that are seen, you might end up with only a few distinct entries in your

Hi Matthias, this doesn't do much for me. What exactly is this parameter intended for? I admit the option description is not telling me anything. Setting "-sd 10" for stack decoding with "-n-best-list file 100 distinct" seems to help. I am getting distinct n-best lists with at most 100 items an

Hi Marcin, You can increase the n-best factor: -n-best-factor 100 Or just set it to 0 (= no limit). The default is 20. Cheers, Matthias On Thu, 2014-06-05 at 17:23 +0200, Marcin Junczys-Dowmunt wrote: > Hi list, > is there a way to make the n-best list in Moses a little bit more > di

Hi list, is there a way to make the n-best list in Moses a little bit more diverse without increasing the maximum n-best list size? Let's say I am willing to sacrifice decoding speed. For instance -n-best-list file 100 distinct generates 100 and collapses them, so sometimes there may be only o
