    Hi
    I have few questions on how Moses system works

    1) would it be possible to do a factored translation where factors
    appear in the output but do not be part of the translation
    process. For example, I have English surface form on source side
    and  Arabic surface and their stems on the target side. I want to
    translate from English surface form to Arabic surface, but also
    see the stems accompanying the surface forms in the output.
    I have tried setting --translation-factors 0-0 , but only ended up
    with the Arabic surface forms in the output.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'not be part of the translation process'. If you want to see the stem in the output but you don't want it in the translation table, then there needs to be some process that generate the stem, given the target word. Moses has a crude solution - it is called the generation step.



    2) when translating sentences with moses , I assume that moses
    adds the sentence boundary markers <s> </s> automatically. Would
    it be possible to exclude these from the translation. I need to
    get translation scores for chunks of input sentences which does
    not involve scores generated based on <s> and </s> from LM or
    phrase table.

Yes, it include <s> </s>. No, you can't exclude these from the translation process.

I'm curious to know why you want to exclude these


    3) I added additional phrases to the phrase table. Should the
    phrase table be sorted again and is it enough to do "LC_ALL=C sort
    " on the PT to be used properly ?

Yes, it needs to be sorted again. You must also make sure that the new phrases are not duplicates of existing phrases


    Thanks
