Hi Lefty

The tokeniser was updated at some point so that it escaped certain characters such as single quote ('). Could this be the problem? If you tokenise your input differently from the training data you will get bad results,

that's very worrying. This is a major reason we're running end-to-end training as part of the releases, to make sure the whole pipeline hasn't degraded.

a few questions:
1. is the test or tuning data in any way unstable? eg. it's really small. Can you run the entire training again and see what the bleu it get again. 2. with the same weights as the 2011 version, does the decoder get the same model and bleu score? 3. Can you make the 2011 working data available for download and i'll take a look

    Hi,

    I have build some models some time ago, using moses and training code
    which had been checked out in 2011. Now I need to improve these
    models,
    so I decided to rerun the old configuration with the freshly
    checked-out
    Moses. I realize that my BLEU scores, on the exact same configuration,
    are down by 0.5 to 1.2 BLEU score.
    Both were trained/tested with the same version of experiment.perl.

    I guess I will have to either dig to find what exactly made the
    difference, or just use the old version if I need improvements. But
    would you think an obvious reason why this happened?

    cheers
    Lefteris
