(apologies for multiple copies)

This is a joint announcement and call for participation and papers for

MT Marathon in the Americas (May 21-25; Pittsburgh, PA, US)
and
MT Marathon 2018 (Sept 3-Sept 8; Prague, Czech Republic, EU)

This year, you are again most welcome to take part in one of (or both!)
Machine Translation Marathons. The US edition, this year sponsored by
Amazon and hosted by Carnegie Mellon University, takes place May 21-25.

The EU edition is sponsored by EAMT and organized by the Institute of
Formal and Applied Linguistics (UFAL), Charles University, and takes
place in Prague on September 3-8, 2018.

Each Machine Translation Marathon is a week long gathering of machine
translation researchers, developers, students and users featuring:

- Summer school: MT Lectures and Labs covering the basics and tutorials.
- Research talks on trending topics.
- Hackathon: Projects to advance tools or research in one week.

Details:

http://www.statmt.org/mtma18 for the US edition (program coming soon)
http://www.statmt.org/mtm18 for the EU edition (call for papers)

** Call for papers **

The MT Marathon in Prague will again host an Open Source Convention to
advance the state of the art in machine translation. We invite
developers of open source tools to present their work and submit a paper
of up to 10 pages that describes the underlying methodology and includes
instructions on how to download and use the tools. We are looking for
stand-alone tools and extensions of existing tools, such as the Moses
open source system for PBMT or the many toolkits for NMT. Accepted
papers will be presented during the MT Marathon in Prague and published
in the Prague Bulletin of Mathematical Linguistics
(http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/pbml).

Deadlines:
Abstract submission: June 26 (one paragraph, to allocate reviewers)
Paper submission: July 10, 2018
Notification: July 27, 2018
Camera-ready deadline: August 3, 2018

Hi there,
I am recently using Moses for Machine Translation research, and thank you so much for create Moses.
However, in the tuning stage, I cannot figure out how to deal?with this. I followed the instructions on Moses Baseline(http://www.statmt.org/moses/?n=Moses.Baseline), but after I input this:?
cd ~/working
nohup nice ~/mosesdecoder/scripts/training/mert-moses.pl \
~/corpus/news-test2008.true.fr ~/corpus/news-test2008.true.en \
~/mosesdecoder/bin/moses train/model/moses.ini --mertdir ~/mosesdecoder/bin/ \
&> mert.out &?????The only result I got on terminal was " [1] 26569 ". And after I input the same code once again, the result appeared on my terminal was:"[2] 26626 ?
[1] ??2 ? ??nohup nice ~/mosesdecoder/scripts/training/mert-moses.pl \
~/corpus/news-test2008.true.fr ~/corpus/news-test2008.true.en \
~/mosesdecoder/bin/moses??train/model/moses.ini --mertdir ~/mosesdecoder/bin/ \
&> mert.out &??

(FYI,"??" ?means EXIT in Chinese.)
And I cannot figure out how to fix this. It would be so much appreciated if you could tell me how to make it right.
Thank you so much.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,Claire

Hi -- You are executing a job in the background in this case ("&" at end of command). The advantage is that the job doesn't block your terminal. You can do other things while you wait for the job to finish.

Here is a link: https://kb.iu.edu/d/afnz
