Hello,

I have a question regarding the phrase table format.
I created a phrase table with the release 1.0 of Moses and I noticed that there is now a third digit on the frequency section which was not there in former versions. What does this third digit mean?

Some examples:
, Advanced , Advanced Edition Unlimited ||| , Advanced , Advanced Edition Unlimited ||| 0.5 0.100328 1 0.0238182 2.718 ||| 0-0 1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4 5-5 ||| 4 2 2
, Advanced , Advanced Edition ||| , Advanced , Advanced Edition ||| 1 0.13723 1 0.0459938 2.718 ||| 0-0 1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4 ||| 2 2 2
Thanks in advance,
Petra

Hi Petra,

the old version had c(e) and c(f) in the fifth column, and you could / had
to obtain c(e,f) by computing c(e)*p(f|e). The new version has c(e), c(f)
and c(e,f) in the fifth column.

best wishes,
Rico

Most of the script work by taking input from standard in and returning
output to standard out. ie.
./parse-en-collins.perl < input.file
if you want to parse just 1 sentence:
echo "sentence blah blah" | ./parse-en-collins.perl
Reading through the source code for the script, you have to give it the
path of the collins parser, and a program to mxpost.

Unfortunately there no documentation for this script. Once you figure out
how to use it, it would be good if you can write something about how to use
it.
