Hi, the IBM Models of GIZA++ are too complicated to be used for simple monotone alignment. I am not aware of any switches that would allow this either.
I suggest to look at finite state machine tools such as OpenFST - http://www.openfst.org/ -phi On Wed, Aug 22, 2012 at 5:29 AM, Dario Ernst <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello dear list, > > first off, i'm not quite sure this is the correct list to ask GIZA++ > questions - if not, please just tell me ;).
