Hi, I had written down this, when I worked with EMS (experiment.perl) some years ago. I am not sure if it is still applicable, but you can check:

1. If some mert runs have happened (that may meen a couple of days!)
   you have to let tuning resume the broken process. Open the file
   |steps/TUNING_tune./num/| by using a text editor. Find the line
   which starts with executing |mert-moses.pl| . There are two
   parameters you can add to resume the broken tuning:
    1. If the error has occurred during decoding, then just add the
       parameter |--continue|.
    2. If a decoding set has successfully happened, and mert crashed
       during optimization that happens after that, then add the
       parameter |--continue --skip decoder| which will save you some
       time. That's optional, though.
2. Save the file and execute the tuning step, (preferably in cluster),
   separately: |nice sh steps/TUNING_tune./num/|
3. Once tuning has completed succesfully, delete
   |steps/TUNING_tune./num/.STDERR| and let experiment.perl go on
   |experiment.perl -continue -config steps/config./num/|

Hi

Does anyone know if it is possible to continue or resume a tuning process that was accidentally interrupted.

To be more concrete, I lost a MERTtuning process after four weeks of running because of an unintended system reboot.

I recovered the weights from the last run file *( run13.moses.ini)* but the translation system I got was not satisfactory.

I think that the translation system will be better if the runing of MERT goes to completion

Thank you

Arezki
