Hi there,

As seen on the training references from the website, the --lm parameter
accepts three inputs: format, order, and filename.


- --lm -- language model: <factor>:<order>:<filename> (option can be
repeated)

But the baseline system uses 4 inputs:

-lm 0:3:$HOME/lm/news-commentary-v8.fr-en.blm.en:8


I would like to find out what the factor input is, also in identifying the
fourth input. Thanks!

your output only has factor 0 and 2. So a LM over factor 1 or 3 will result
in a segfault

the 4th input (8) is the LM implementation you would like the decoder to
use. 0=SRILM, 1=IRSTLM, 8=KENLM.

factor (0) is the factor in the output sentence you want the LM to use. If
you don't use factors, then it's always 0

Hi all,
thank you all for the tips. I am going with Stanford then.

I am currently producing a language model from the Christian's raw
Chinese CommonCrawl data (www.statmt.org/ngrams). Once I am done I will
be happy to share back.
Best,
Marcin
