Actually my experience with significance pruning in case of phrase-based models is usually very positive, also in terms of translation quality, but maybe I just have messy corpora :)

I will see what I can cook up, if it proves useful I''l contribute.
Thanks Hieu,
Best,

The tree-to-string model is faster for decoding, compared to hiero model, and much faster compared to string-to-tree.

therefore, imo, you don't need to prune because pruning always causes search errors.

if you mean filtering by input sentences to get rid of rules you know will never apply (ie. not pruning bad rules which may apply), then I think you can hack filter-pt to do it.

I don't think no-one done it 'cos not a lot of people work on tree-to-string

    Hi list,
    If I am not mistaken, there is currently no functionality to prune
    tree-to-string rule tables. Do you think it makes sense to use
    filter-pt
    for hierarchical rules instead, for instance by replacing category
    symbols with the generic [X]. After pruning I would have to
    reintroduce
    the syntactic categories. I think in the worst case this should result
    in under-pruning, keeping more rules than neccessary. Any thoughts why
    this might be a bad idea before I start implementing this?
    Thanks,
    Marcin
