Hi Alex

Yes, you can use batch mira for training sparse features, it works the 
same way as PRO does in Moses.

Unfortunately documentation on sparse features is, well, sparse... But 
the n-best format is much the same as for dense features, ie

  name_1: value_1 name_2: value_2 ...

Sparse features only get reported in the nbest if they are named in the 
-report-sparse-features argument, otherwise their weighted sum will be 
reported.

cheers - Barry
