Hi The distortion limit won't allow the processing of unknown words to be left until the end of the sentence, unless the unknown word is sufficiently close to the end. For a precise statement of how the distortion limit works in moses (and other phrase-based models). see here: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/alopez/papers/eacl2009-lopez.pdf Also, moses (with default settings) doesn't drop source words, so the translation won't be finished until all source words are covered. best regards Barry -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336. _______________________________________________ Moses-support mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/moses-support
