Hi Hieu > chris - we can add a default=1 but talked to pwilliams about it, would > need to keep the back compatiblity in the mert scripts & other places > too. Would just be a source of constant bugs.
I just discussed the matter with my office mate Arianna. We would favour the following solution: - default of 1 for the decoder - error message about new format from MERT and other scripts The reason is that we have lots of fully trained old systems lying around that we'd like to use without modifications. We also have old patched versions of the decoder, which we sometimes still use. On the other hand, we don't think MERT needs to be able to deal with the old format. If I retrain a system, I can also adapt the config file format. Does this sound reasonable to you? /Christian _______________________________________________ Moses-support mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/moses-support
