Jose, I just caught another part of your message "I assume that is possible to transfer the scripts that I have trained on Ubuntu to Windows."
If you're talking about transferring the training scripts to MS Windows and training on Windows, this assumption is incorrect. Training a translation model uses a variety of Perl & shell scripts to train the language model and t-tables. Those scripts call out to various C++ apps and in some cases Python scripts. Many of these scripts and C++ application simply do not run on Windows. It might be possible to update the Perl and Python scripts, but the shell scripts would have to be re-written in another language and the C++ apps would need major work because many call-out to native Posix/Linux resources (e.g. "sort"). If you're talking about transferring the trained/tuned translation models to MS Windows, the previous messages apply. The blog you refer to was written in Jan 2010 and used a 2009 version of Moses with the SRILM-compatible 3-gram limited language model. If this compile option is still valid, you would have to train/tune translation models on Linux/Posix with 3-gram SRILM-compatible language model, then transfer/run them on MS Windows. KenLM language models would not be an option. I don't remember if binarized phrase/reordering tables were supported on Windows. Therefore, your MS Windows system would require plenty of RAM resources. I have no idea if the newer moses code for hierarchical models would compile/run as a native MS Windows app. Tom On Tue, 3 Jul 2012 17:09:15 +0100, Barry Haddow <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Jose > > Moses is a command line application, so the usual way to use it on > windows > would be through cygwin. > > If you want to use Moses in a GUI application, then probably the best > way is > to run Moses server and have the GUI communicate with the server. > This has > been discussed on this list before. > > cheers - Barry > > > > > On Tuesday 03 July 2012 13:03:14 Jose Casimiro Pereira wrote: >> Hi everyone. >> >> First of all, I apologize for my English. >> >> I'm a PhD student, from Portugal, and I'm starting to study and use >> MOSES >> tool.
