Hi
thanks a lot for the answers...
Sorry my question was not clear. I was wondering if Giza or later in the
Moses pipeline, the software that creates the phrase, do not consider those
alignments that are not supported by enough data in the training set.

If I have understood in the right way the answer is yes, the (Johnson et al.
2007) techniques.

just one more question (maybe two :-) ):
is the (Johnson et al. 2007) a default technique in Moses?
how is the threshold set?

thanks a lot
Marco
