Thanks for your replies!

Hi Prashant,

there is definitely an option for sparse l1/l2 regularization with mira. I

Yes. For MIRA, we can set the *C* parameter to control its regularization.
I tried different C values (0.01, 0.001) but it didn't work in my case.

Hi Matthias,

Do the sparse features give you any large improvement on the tuning set?


Yes. The improvement is around ~2-3 BLEU scores on the tuning set.

Does this mean that there are hundreds of sentences in your original

Yes. It's quite odd, I think so. But this data (Chinese-to-English) is
extracted from an official competition.
Probably, I will have to remove overlapping before moving on with other
kinds of features.
