Hi,

We (Lionbridge) are currently looking into the option of setting up a sizeable Moses MT environment on CentOS.

We would like to get in contact with institutes/companies or individual using Moses on a large scale for initial discussions both on the infrastructure/setup as well as MT side regarding multi-server Moses setups for training and decoding.

We will be considering both a cloud as well as on premise option for the actual installation/setup.

Thanks
Benny Molby

Hi,

The default settings of the Moses decoder only output the best translation (only one). I am wondering is it possible to make the decoder to output a bunch of translation hypotheses (e.g., the best 5)?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Zheng

Hi Xheng

this is possible through the parameter "-n-best-list"

see for details

Hi Arththika,


(1) In language modelling,
how IRSTLM split the dictionary which is extracted from corpus into 3 dictionaries?
how to calculate n-gram counts?



I would like to answer your first question
as a responsible of the IRSLTM tookit

If not clear, please reply privately to me only.


I suppose you are using the build-lm.sh script from IRSTLM

The script split the dictionary, sorted according the 1-grams frequency,
in such a way that the global frequency of each part is balanced.

In this way the corresponding partitions of the n-grams are balanced as well.
the n-gram partition is built by taking into consideration the first token,

Not sure what do you mean with the second part of the question.

best regards,
Nicola

Hi,

(2) And, If English is the foreign language, what I want to change, (in train-model.perl file)

(3) can anyone tell me that how to use a perl module? I want to use this module named Locale-Maketext-Lexicon-0.97 to extract translatable strings from po files.
