filter-pt can also prune syntactic models (tree-to-string, string-to-tree
and tree-to-tree) if you use the option '-h'. It's using an approximative
method to get statistics, however (ignoring nonterminals). I'm currently
doing some experiments to compare it to exact pruning, since I'm curious
myself if the approximation costs performance.

best wishes,
