Hi,

What are the 5 weights in translation model in "mert" meant for ? Barry
suggested that they can be the probabilities found in
http://www.statmt.org/moses/?n=FactoredTraining.ScorePhrases

Forward and backward phrase translation probability, lexical weights and
phrase penalty.

But in the problem formulation we only take the forward probabilities into
consideration. What is the reason for having 5 feature functions?

The phrase penalty always seems to be exp(1). What is the reason for it? Can
I change it?
