Hi Peter, Hieu, all, my thesis stuff is rather outdated and likely not working with current Moses code.
As Hieu pointed out, the whole thing is problematic as networked requests take much longer than in-memory n-gram lookups. In the Dublin MT Marathon, Mark Fishel and I worked on optimal batching of LMServer requests and got pretty far; the combination of Miles' RandLM and such a batched, remote LM interface could be a nice thing...
