Hi Hieu,

thanks for your answer. I guess that, in case the search is not completely deterministic, I will be better off by modifying the -osgx option so that it will output all the info I need. I was trying to avoid that, but it seems there will be no other option.

Thanks,

Germán

hi german

I don't think decoding is guaranteed to give the same results in 2 consecutive 
runs,
for the same model and input. This email thread was discussing this issue
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.nlp.moses.user/4327/focus=4341
However, I'm not sure how much different 2 runs can be.

You might wanna talk to Christian Buck who I think is trying to bash the search 
graph
output into something more useful

      Hello list,

      I was trying to output a search graph with both the single model scores 
and
      the transition value. While the single model scores are produced by the
      option -osgx, the transition value is only present when using the option
      -osgx. Since I am not doing this myself, I thought that the best choice
      would be to output both files by rerunning Moses (since they seem to be
      exclusive) and then merge both into a single file. However, I found a
      problem when doing so, which is that both files do not have the same 
number
      of lines (and hence I assume that the original search-graphs did not have
      the same amount of edges. So I would have two questions, I guess:

      - Why is there information produced by -osg that is not present when
      specifying -osgx?
      - Why are -osg and -osgx exclusive? Is this really the desired behaviour?
      - Finally, if the same moses.ini is specified with the same models, why 
are
      the search graphs not identical? Are there random initialisations (or
      something similar) that account for this behaviour?

      the command lines used when observing these results were pretty simple,
      i.e. moses -f <moses.ini> -i <file> [-osg|-osgx]

      Thanks in advance for your answer,

      best regards,

      Germán Sanchis-Trilles
