Hi all,
I'd like to retire the alternate weight settings mechanism in Moses in
exchange for keeping track of weights per translation task. Is anyone still
using that mechanism, or is that a thing of the past?

A Research Associate (Post-Doctoral Researcher) position in Statistical Machine Translation is available at the University of Cambridge.
The Research Associate will be funded by the EPSRC (UK) project `Improving Target Language Fluency in Statistical Machine Translation'. The project is focused on developing robust, natural language generation systems that can be incorporated directly into syntax-based SMT.
Duration: 12 months, renewable for another 12 months, starting Summer or Fall 2015.
Deadline: The positions will remain open until filled.
http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/ALB249/research-assistant-associate-in-statistical-machine-translation-fixed-term/
Reference: NM06012
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in machine learning, natural language processing, speech recognition, or a related area, with interests in any of the following topics :
- Statistical machine translation, syntactic SMT
- Neural networks, deep learning
- Natural language generation
- `Big Data' techniques large-scale text processing and for machine learning (e.g. Hadoop, Spark)
For candidates with an interest in supervision of graduate research, there will be opportunities to set and lead research projects on the new Cambridge MPhil in Machine Learning, Speech, and Language Technologies which will begin in October 2015.
Please send your CV to Bill Byrne (bill.byrne@eng.cam.ac.uk) or to Adri? de Gispert (ad465@cam.ac.uk). We are happy to answer any questions related to the position or the project. We are also available to meet at upcoming conferences: HLT-NAACL, ACL, ...
SMT at Cambridge (http://divf.eng.cam.ac.uk/smt):
Cambridge SMT researchers have developed the HiFST/HiPDT translation systems (http://ucam-smt.github.io), leading to the 2012 EAMT Best Paper and EAMT 2010 Best Thesis awards. The team participates in international MT evaluations, such as the NIST and WMT shared tasks, with entries consistently ranked among the top submitted systems. Cambridge SMT researchers also have strong industrial connections, with PhD students and RAs going on to take positions at Google, IBM, SDL, Facebook, Nuance, and other top research labs in the UK and USA.
The SMT research team is part of the Cambridge Speech and Language Technologies Group which also carries out research in speech recognition, speech synthesis, and statistical dialogue systems. The SLT Group also has strong collaborative ties to the Natural Language Processing group at the Cambridge Computer Laboratory (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/nl/) and to the Cambridge Computational and Biological Learning Group (http://cbl.eng.cam.ac.uk).
For an overview of language research at the University of Cambridge, please see the Cambridge Language Sciences website (www.languagesciences.cam.ac.uk) .

We have an open position for a research associate in machine translation
for 12 months initially, with the possibility of extension (depending on
funding).

Hi Uli,
We would love to use it (or a similar mechanism to set sentence-specific weights), but since it cannot be used in multithreaded moses (and thus in mosesserver), we currently have to start individual mosesserver instances for each individual weigths setting, and switch on dispatcher level. So a mechanism like AWS that also works in mosesserver would be highly appreciated.
Best,
Gregor

So, to clarify:
* If tracking ?weights per translation task? is per xmlrpc request, and different concurrent requests can have different weights, then yes, please, go ahead!
* We are currently not using AWS because it only works in single-threaded mode.
