Hi,

The Moses manual recommends using the following switches when building
a language model with SRILM:

  -interpolate -kndiscount

I assume this recommendation applies specifically to surface-string
language models.  For a part-of-speech language model, KN-discounting
is inappropriate because it is based on counts-of-counts, and the
counts-of-counts for POSes are odd in that there are very few POSes
that occur only once or twice in a given corpus.

Are there particular switches that are recommended for building a POS
language model with SRILM?

Regards,
Ben Gottesman
