In April 2012, there was a discussion on the list, subject "Multiple
translations with XML." Philipp gave excellent examples that covered how
to use the "-xml-input exclusive" option. The examples included one
markup tag with two entries and probabilities to force the final output.
Phillip's final example and conclusions were:
% echo 'die neuen <xml translation="gentlemen||councilmen"
prob="0.00001||0.99999">Rats Herren</xml> der Hauptstadt' || moses
-f moses.ini -xml-input exclusive
the new councilmen of the capital
So, in this case (a recent WMT12-de-en system), it takes quite a
bias in the translation model to produce the output with the higher
translation probability.
I have two questions about how the -xml-input entries in the markup tag
work.
1. Are the entries applied before the distortion table with the
distortion table affecting the result, or are the entries applied as
a net effect after the distortion table?
2. Do the entries override or supplement the weightings in the loaded
SMT model's t-table/distortion table combination?
Thanks,
Tom
