correct, they don't have to be the same tagset

Hi Hieu,
Thanks a lot for the extra information.
I still haven't tried the factored model so I will give it a try first before further investigating the options within the tree models.

Although I saw one of your related posts (I pasted the link below) as a reply to a question about factored models and tagging, I still would like to make sure: when tagging the source and target languages, do the taggers have to use the same tagsets? or is it actually ok if they are different sets?

Thank you very much for your support.

hi arda

I think an email by Chris Dyer sums up the issue that it's pretty hard
to beat the phrase-based BLEU for many language pairs.

here's Edinburgh's attempt from this years WMT10:

The straightforward way of adding syntax severely reduces BLEU, you have
to add something extra to get any gains. Off the top of my head, the
main ways that i've seen so far is
  1. Add alternative parses, eg. forest decoding
  2. Mix up the parse tree, eg. SAMT
  3. Soft constrain instead of hard constraints, eg
http://www.isi.edu/~chiang/papers/acl2010-chiang.pdf <http://www.isi.edu/%7Echiang/papers/acl2010-chiang.pdf>
  4. Occasionally ignoring syntax, eg.
http://aclweb.org/anthology-new/W/W10/W10-1761.pdf
There's loads of other ways & papers i haven't mentioned
