Hi Venkat,

here are some comments after a quick read. I am sure Fran Tyers can give you better feedback (I just advised on the thesis, he worked it out).

A quick summary of what it is in Nikita's work that needs improvement and why would be welcome for us who are not too familiar.

I would consider KenLM in addition to IRSTLM (I think it works faster and it is all free/open-source, at least the part we would need here).

I am not sure if you need all the power of GIZA++. Other faster aligners may be used and installed, and perhaps they are OK for the task (e.g. https://github.com/clab/fast_align). In fact, some of the task could simply be done using the bilingual dictionary to find hits, without need for detailed alignments (poor man's in Nikita's work).

Hope this helps
Mikel
