I have difficulties understanding the description about "class language 
models" at
http://www.statmt.org/moses/?n=FactoredTraining.BuildingLanguageModel#ntoc8

What I actually want to do is to use a language model on combined 
(concatenated) factors, let's say word+pos when decoding a factored 
model. I'm not sure if the "class language model" feature is the right 
thing to look at for doing this.

for example, if my -translation-factors are 0-0,1 (0 being words and 1 
being target language POSs) then I would like to combine the translation 
prob's with a language model using factors 0,1 (word/pos) before the 
generation step from 0,1 to 0. and then maybe even adding a word 
language model on the generated surface string. what would be the proper 
way of doing this with moses?


two other small things:

I realised that moses has problems with xml-input when using lexicalised 
reordering. I get segmentation faults after decoding some sentences. It 
works fine using distance-based reordering.

for the irstlm developers: it would be nice to change the hard-coded 
settings for gzip/gunzip in the bin/*.pl files to more general ones. 
otherwise I always have to do this by hand after downloading a new version.

For example, replace
        my $gzip="/usr/bin/gzip";
        my $gunzip="/usr/bin/gunzip";
with
        my $gzip=`which gzip`;chomp $gzip;
        my $gunzip=`which gzip`;chomp $gunzip;
        $gunzip .= ' -d';
or something like that.

thanks.
cheers,
