HI Amir

You should be able to do the building of the LM with irstlm, and binarising and decoding with KenLM, all via EMS.

Anyway, for the decoding, is Moses still running? Is it using CPU? It could be swapping. If it's not running, did it crash? You could try running again with a small stack size (the -s parameter in the decoder-settings)

Hello Barry

Thank you for your help.

I commneted out the KenLm in the configuration file and used buil-binary to binarize lm file.( it doesn't create arpa file, should I create it manually? ) It didn't get any error but it still takes too long to finish the testing process. I have 5000 sentences in my test set. I checked test.output.1 file and noticed that it contains only the translation of 4690 sentences. it seems that it gets into a loop for translating the 4691'th sentence. I am afraid that I made a mistake in setting the parameters in my configuration file. I will be thankful if you could take a look at my file.

Thank you again

    Hi Amir

    Even if you use IRSTLM to build the language model, you can still
    use KenLM for decoding. Make sure you create an arpa file with
    IRSTLM, then use build_binary to binarise it so that it loads
    quickly with KenLM. Then you can use multi-threaded decoding,

    Thank you Barry,

    I use IRSTLM to build the language model. Can I use multi-thread
    for decoder-setting?
    I get "IRST LM is not threadsafe" error.

    I want to use IRSTLM, is there any other way to speed up the
    tuning step ?

        Hi Amir

        You can add

        decoder-settings = "-threads 4"

        to your TUNING stanza.

        Also try

        filter-settings = "-MinScore 2:0.0001"

        for more aggressive filtering.

        Running tuning on a laptop though is always going to be slow,

        I don't know how can I change multi-thread setting in ems
        config file.

            I think your tuning process will go faster if you use a
            multi-threaded Mert.
            /home/mert-moses.pl <http://mert-moses.pl> --threads 4
             you have of course tu indicate 8 instead of 4 if your
            laptop is equipped with eight cores
            Best regards

            Hello

            I have a corpus with 400'000 sentences for training,
            1000 sentences for tuning and 100'000 sentences for
            test. I couldn't run ems on my corpus, after 3 days,
            with my old laptop.
            I have bought a new laptop (core i7, cpu 2.40 , 8G Ram)
            but I can't still run ems! it is 3 days that it is in
            the tuning step and it is not finished yet.
            Is it possible that it gets in an endless loop?
            How can I check it's process?

            regards
            Amir
