    A colleague of mine was just trying out a new git checkout of

    I spent some time looking through the git logs and checking out
    old versions of moses, and strangely I can't seem to find any old
    versions of moses with that parameter present. Searching on google
    for "moses ttable-threshold" reveals some hits, most notably the
    example Moses config file from the JHU summer workshop
    (http://www.statmt.org/jhuws/?n=Experiments.EPPS).

    Does anyone know what happened to the ttable-threshold parameter?
    Did it get renamed, or removed?



Well, I figured out why the error message is being thrown. On 2011-06-11 Hieu added a check in Parameter.cpp to verify that each parameter in the ini file is a real, valid, known parameter.

Prior to that, I guess unknown parameters were silently ignored.

I looked through the history of Parameter.cpp and StaticData.cpp going back to the first revision of Moses on sourceforge, and didn't find any mention of a ttable-threshold parameter.

Based on that, and the fact that the parameter appears to have been present at the JHU summer workshop (http://www.statmt.org/jhuws/?n=Experiments.EPPS) I'm assuming that ttable-threshold was a Pharaoh parameter that was removed or renamed prior to Moses being put up on Sourceforge.

If anyone knows, I would still be interested in knowing if ttable-threshold was removed or if it was renamed to something else.

Thanks,
Lane Schwartz
