Hi Amir, The number of training sentences does not matter. What matters is how good/bad are your tuning sentences, how many features there are (more features means increase in tuning time). And it does not matter how many sentences for test (having said that, 100K for testing is quite huge)
You can check your folder "mert-work" unless EMS changes the default name (never used EMS). It will have several iterations, each with several files. run1.moses.ini, run2.moses.ini, and so on. Also note that each MERT iteration means more decoding, and decoding is an expensive process. Did you use the --threads flag when running MERT? That will run it multi-threaded which helps quite a bit. hope that helps.
