I tested more as it is now and the current work-around (delete the extension) has limits. If the reordering-table.minlexr and reordering-table.gz are both present in the referenced folder and there's no extension in the config, moses loads the text .gz model. If you remove the .gz file from the folder, moses finds/loads the .minlexr file. This creates uncertainty and possibly problems for some users.

I think any/all of your solutions proposals will solve uncertainty. Requiring a fixed extension is probably the easiest. Defining a feature (ReorderingCompact or LexicalReorderingCompact) would make lexical configuration management more like the PhraseDictionary & PhraseDictionaryCompact. There's a lot to be said for consistency.

Ultimately, I don't have a preference either way. Easy is sometimes better :) For now, we'll use the work-around.

The problem is that Reordering models have a base class that manages and delegates loading. If I remember correctly there is some kind of preference hard coded, if something exists that has the minlexr suffix, take if before *.binphr and *.gz. Some time ago the compact phrase table would not work with the suffix, so this was at least consistent. That changed in the meantime and now we have this current mess.

What would be the best solution?
A) fix suffix handling,
B) define a ReorderingCompact feature
C) both

Hi, Marcin,

1) comment out the reordering model (both, feature and weights): works. Exception disappears. 2) Remove file extension ".minlexr" from path= reference: works. file loads and model works

Additional test:
3) Remove file extension ".minphr" from compact phrase table's path= reference: works.

Is it possible this exception has to do with the filename buffer vice algorithm?

FYI, I'm using the build-in boost library from Ubuntu 14.04 libboost 1.54
    apt-get install libboost-all-dev

Hi,

urgh, I saw this sometimes, could you comment out the reordering model (both, feature and weights) and check if you still get that? If not, uncomment and try to remove the file suffix "minlexr" for the reordering model. If it still happens, update boost :) (someone had the same problem and updating boost fixed it miraculously, no idea why though)

    Hi everyone,

    I just build the new R-3. I'm also in the middle of updating our 
environment. I had a problem preparing for mert-moses.pl. So, I cut back to 
basics... manual edits to the moses.ini file and command line.

    I attached the moses.ini file and its output log. I edited the moses.ini file to use 
compact phrase and reordering files, and KenLM with lazy option. It fails with 
"Exception: vector::_M_range_check".

    Is something wrong or missing with my edits?

    Also, more results addressed separately in another.
