Hi Igor The language model is not used in creating the phrase table. The language model is, however, used in tuning (ie mert), so if you have a new language model then ideally you should rerun mert. This will choose new weights for the translation model, language model etc, which should be better than just reusing the old weights,
Hope that helps, regards Barry On Saturday 27 September 2008 00:20:00 Igor Trajkovski wrote: > Hi, > I have a question about the language model. > > I mentioned that language model is given as a parameter to the training > process. > > Let say that after training we got more resources (texts) about the > target language and computed new language model. > > Can we use this new language model directly for decoding or > first we should retrain the system using the new language model ? > > How language model is used for training the system (creating the phrase > table) ? > I thought that it is used only for decoding.
