Hi all,
About the moses mert problem Neda mentioned, I tried three ways to
make MERT deterministic, but their results between them are different.
Way 1: edit mert-moses.pl line 105: "my $_RANDOM-RESTARTS=20",
change 20 to 0
Way 2: switch to the mert-moses.pl call: --mertargs=" -r $seed " as
Patrik said
Way 3: activate flag "--predictable-seed", as Nicola and Barry said
I ran totally 9 experiments, 3 for each way with the same corpus and
parameters, and compared the results. the results in the same way are the
same, but the results with the same corpus but different ways are different.
So my questions are:
Are the three ways right to make MERT deterministic? Which is best?
Why are they different?
