Hi All,

We have been trying to use Syntax Models for Moses for some time now.
We have trained tree-to-tree models and HPB models and were trying to
compare the results with standard PBSMT models.

We use en-de as language pairs and about 1.2 million lines as training
data. For tree to tree models we have used Berkeley Parser for parsing
both languages.

However i found that Tree-to-Tree scores were much lower(about 4 BLEU
points) compared to the PBSMT models. The HPB model (hierarchical moses
without syntax) is slightly better than the PBSMT models.

Is this behaviour normal. I am quite new to syntax based models, hence
the question.

Also do we need to parse the devsets during tuning of the tree-to-tree
models ?

Thanks and regards,

Pratyush Banerjee
