it can take a long time, it depends how large your tuning data is. 1000-2000 sentences is enough. Moses need to decoder this tuning set around 20 times.
You should also filter and binarize your phrase table, reordering model and language model so make the decoder run faster and take up less memory. you must set --mertdir ~/mosesdecoder/bin NOT --mertdir ~/mosesdecoder/bin/mert On 4 August 2013 04:02, Heidi Heweidy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > Is it possible that tuning takes more than 48 hours and still not yet > finished? > Ofcoarse I had to update the command for tuning: > > nohup nice ~/mosesdecoder/scripts/training/mert-moses.pl \ > ~/corpus/news-test2008.true.fr ~/corpus/news-test2008.true.en \ > ~/mosesdecoder/bin/moses train/model/moses.ini --mertdir > ~/mosesdecoder/bin/ \ > &> mert.out & > > by stating the --mertdir to be ~/mosesdecoder/bin/mert instead of > ~/mosesdecoder/bin/ > > Is this correct? > > > > _______________________________________________ > Moses-support mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/moses-support > > -- Hieu Hoang Research Associate University of Edinburgh http://www.hoang.co.uk/hieu
