Does anybody have experience with installing RandLM and SRILM? Is it possible to compile Moses to support a variety of language model libraries and then configure to select which one to use for each experiment?

thanks,
James

Hi,

You should read

http://www.statmt.org/moses/?n=Moses.Optimize

Use Linux on physical hardware.

Once installed, you just need to use the --with-randlm and --with-srilm
options to bjam, respectively. Then you will be able to configure which
to use in your moses.ini per
http://www.statmt.org/moses/?n=FactoredTraining.BuildingLanguageModel .

RandLM is fairly straightforward to install. SRILM's install is
perpetually broken but there are some tips in Moses's
BUILD-INSTRUCTIONS.txt which you will find in the top directory of any
Moses checkout.

Hi James,

yes, I already succeeded in installing randLM and SRILM on both MacOSx and Linux Redhat. it was very simple following their documentations.

and

yes, it is possible to compile Moses with any LM library you like
adding zero, one or more of the following parameters

--with-irstlm=/path/to/irstlm

--with-randlm=/path/to/randlm

--with-srilm=/path/to/srilm

you can find more details here
http://www.statmt.org/moses/?n=Development.GetStarted
in section "Optional packages"


at run time, you can select the desired LM type in the configuration file.



Nicola
