It really depends how big your models are. That configuration will only work with fairly small models. Since a lot of the training is done on disk, you need plenty of disk space too. > 2.

There's no problem with doing this, except that if you want to run training and run the mosesserver at the same time, then your machine needs to have sufficient resources. > 3.

Yes, you can load more than 1 LM in a moses server instance. Again, your configuration depends on the size of the models, but that machine would only work with small models. Our experimental machines have 32-72 G ram, and 8-16 cpus. > 4. > Actually i'm running moses on a test environment with 2 istances of > moses server. The translation seems to be ok.

Yes, you need to tokenise your input. Look at the moses step-by-step guide. http://www.statmt.org/moses_steps.html > 5. Is There a way to have case insensitive > translations? (Actually i need to lower the input string). Yes, moses includes a script for lowercasing. Again, this is covered in the step-by-step guide. > 6.

However there are various tools built on top of moses which might have this support, cheers - Barry -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336. _______________________________________________ Moses-support mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/moses-support
