Dear Jason, actually no one did this enhancement of cmert at least to my knowledge.
I also thoguht to modify the MERT part o Moses to make it more flexible and efficient, but unfortunately I never had time. This is a possible project to work on during the Second MT Marathon (next week in Berlin) but it is not sure So I suggest to wait an official reply from Phil to avoid a duplicate effort. If this optimization of mert scripts will not be considered in the 2nd MT Marathon, I will be very glad to collaborate woth you in both planning modifications, and writing the code. best, Nicola ________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Katz-Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2008 5:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Moses-support] mert-moses with NIST score optimization (I sent this mail once before, but it bounced because one of MIT's mailman servers filled a disk. So I hope this is not a duplicate.) Hi all, Has anybody enhanced mert-moses and cmert to allow one to tune for maximum NIST score, or to maximize some other metric? If not, I am interested in adding this functionality. Also, could somebody give me an idea of the maximum number of feature weights that is feasible to train with the current mert setup?
