hi boxing
   
  i had a look at this and there is a bug in the code. 
   
  the alignment output doesn´t take into account the fact that hypotheses with 
different target lengths can be combined during stack pruning. apologies
   
  will check in the fix in the next few days, as soon as i can connect my 
laptop to the net. check the svn commits for when

  Dear moses-developer,

Currently, I am using moses of version 2008-02-20.

if I use the option: -include-alignment-in-n-best to keep the phrase alignment 
informarion in the nbest list, more than half hypotheses got wrong phrase 
alignments, such as:

0 ||| oh , the flight is the c 3 0 6 . ||| d: 0 -3.77112 0 0 -2.52851 0 0 lm: 
-54.4133 tm: -8.65867 -10.4881 -6.35404 -7.50889 5.99938 w: -11 ||| -2.98287 
||| 0-1=0-1 2=2 3-4=3-4 5=5-6 6=7 7-9=7-9

in this example, the eighth target word ("3") is aligned twice by: 6=7 7-9=7-9

3 ||| 2 passengers is . ||| d: 0 -2.81628 0 0 -1.6697 0 0 lm: -27.6149 tm: 
-23.9911 -20.0994 -7.60809 -5.73339 3.99959 w: -4 ||| -3.15759 ||| 0-1=0 2-3=1 
4=4 5-6=5

there are only 4 target words, but the alignment indicates to the fifth and 
sixth target words: 4=4 5-6=5

in total, out of 2,440,820 hypotheses (IWSLT'06 dev set, 5000-best), there are 
1,780,673 got wrong phrase alignment.

best regards,

-Boxing
