Hello everyone,

I'm having trouble understanding the -distortion-file parameters that are
passed into Moses; it's reported that Moses accepts:

> -distortion-file: source factors (0 if table independent of source),
target factors, location of the factorized/lexicalized reordering tables


Can someone please further explain what each of these correspond to?  For
example, having searched through Moses' support mailing list, I see an
example whereby someone had passed:

> -distortion-file   0-1     wbe-msd-bidirectional-fe-allff    6
/home/meirong-moses/fac-sur+pos+stem/model/reordering-table.0-1.wbe-msd-bidirectional-fe


Question 1/Param 1: Do the source factors have to sum to 1 and can be any
double (e.g., .4-.6 would be valid?)

Question 2/Param 2: This is the base filename that corresponds to the
output of processLexicalTable.exe?

Question 3/Param 3: 6?  This is an example of a target factor?  It seems
different than the source factor example of 0-1.

Question 4/Param 4: What is this file?  Is it the base filename that
corresponds to the output of processLexicalTable, or maybe it's the lexical
reordering scoring table (i.e., the output of having run
scripts/training/lexical-reordering/score.cpp?)

Any other insights and comments would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
