Hi all

Achim and I have been working on adding support for placeholders into
Moses. That is, replacing a number, date, or named entity with a symbol eg.
@num@, -date-, =named-entity=. We think it would be especially useful for
commercial users of Moses, and for people translating text with lots of
numbers, dates etc.

It is now supported in the Moses training and decoding pipeline. See the
following URL for more details.

Hi Hieu

I read the documentation
and you mention that you enable the exclusive mode of xml-input

I see few issues:

- you mention that you enable the exclusive mode of xml-input;
this can conflict with other usage of xml-input which instead require the inclusive mode.
do you have any comments on that?

- when you use the exclusive mode you force the translation of the span (@num@) with "100")
and other larger span including @num@ are not allowed
am I right?
If yes, what is the advantage of having phrase pairs including other words

- what is the meaning of "-placeholder-factor 1" ?

it can be exclusive, inclusive or anything else except pass-through. It
just requires the XML handling to run

it doesn't create XML options, it just needs the XML parsing to run.

It stores the original text in the source factor 1. The placeholder symbol
is in the factor 0, or whatever the translation model was configured to use.
