Precision Translation Tools is happy to announce a new release of Do Moses Yourself (DoMY) v1.60. DoMY is a packaged distribution of all Moses components for Ubuntu (and Debian) Linux with special support for academics and researchers (below). The distribution includes the following Debian packages with the component's source code:
* Moses Decoder (trunk svn 4011). Package name: mosesdecoder * GIZA++ 1.0.5 (svn 11). Package name: giza-pp * MGIZA++ 0.6.3.1 (svn 6). Package name: mgizapp * BerkeleyAligner 2.1 unsupervised (svn 27). Package name: berkeleyaligner * IRSTLM 5.60.03 (trunk svn 409). Package name: irstlm * RandLM 0.20 (no svn). Package name: randlm * SRILM 1.5.12 (no svn). Package name srilm (**see note below) * CorpusFiltergraph 3.4 (corpus preparation). Package name: corpusfg * DoMY CE 1.60 (training, tuning and translation scripts). Package name: domy-ce Details below. Regards, Tom http://www.precisiontranslationtools.com THANKS: I wish to thank the Moses team who answered my recent questions. They helped improve this installation for the entire community. PPA for Do Moses Yourself fully supports: * Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid) * Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) * Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) * Partial support for Ubuntu 9.10 and earlier * Partial support for other Debian Linux distros To install on Ubuntu, just add the "PPA for Do Moses Yourself" repository to your Ubuntu package manager. Then, use dpkg, gdebi, apt-get, aptitude, Synaptic or Ubuntu Software Center to install the packages. We schedule updates every 6 months. You'll get notification according to the package manager settings. You must register on our website to gain access to the PPA address and installation instructions. Download and install are free to all users. Commercial support packages are available on our web site. Each package updates its respective Debian dependencies. So, GIZA++, MGIZA++, IRSTLM, and RandLM an be installed independently. Moses Decoder's dependencies include mgizapp, irstlm and randlm, libboost-all-dev and libxmlrpc-c3-dev (and many more). All of the Moses scripts, including EMS, are available through this installation. The CorpusFiltergraph and DoMY CE packages may or may not be useful to the research community. Their dependencies include Moses, etc. but they are not required to install the Moses components. Each component is compiled under /usr/local/src during installation. Depending on your Internet connection, CPU speeds, etc., a complete installation of all Do Moses Yourself packages takes 30 to 60 minutes. All packages support 32-bit and 64-bit hosts. All Package binaries are built with multi-threading enabled where possible (MGIZA++, RandLM, Moses (KenLM). Advanced users: Each Moses component is available as an individual Debian package. So, in support of non-Ubuntu Debian distros, users can download the Debian packages. Moses and IRSTLM sources are SVN tarballs. Researchers can update the SVN rev and rebuild the package without waiting for us to update the Debian package. Installation to custom locations are possible. Contact me for details on any of these. REQUEST: If you are interested in this kind of installation for non-Ubuntu / non-Debian hosts (Redhat, etc), please contact me. Much of the work has been done but I don't know the RPM dependency names. ** SRILM: We do not distribute SRILM because SRI does not offer an open source license. However, to support the research community, DoMY includes a custom Debian package that prompts the user with the License terms. After the user accepts the License terms, the package forwards the registration data to SRI (just like the web page). We never receive a copy of the registration data. Then, it downloads and automatically installs SRILM 1.5.12. The Debian install also re-compiles Moses binaries if mosesdecoder was installed before SRILM. _______________________________________________ Moses-support mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/moses-support
