Hi All,

I am trying to implement forced decoding procedure of (Weubker et al 2010)
using Moses constrained decoding functionality for a Arabic-English bitext
of ~1 million sentence. For start, I am using Moses to decode a sample of
20000 sentences from this bitext. Though I have tried to relax all the
parameters to as maximum as possible, I haven’t been able to obtain a
coverage of more than 50%. I am describing below models and the parameters
I have used and their maximum/minimum value :

1. Phrase table built from the same bitext using moses training
(grow-diag-final-and algorithm) (~60 million phrase pairs)
2. Distortion penalty, phrase penalty
3. No LM or reordering models. Infinite distortion limit
4. ttable limit : 1000000
5. Stack size (maximum : 3000)
6. Beam size (10^(-10) to 10^(-30) (min))
7. Stack diversity : 0-1

Some of them I have used as discussed in this report (
http://www-labs.iro.umontreal.ca/~foster/papers/forcedecode-techrep12.pdf)


Can anyone explain if I am missing any other parameters set to default in
moses that I should relax to increase my coverage ? Or what are the default
values of all possible parameters in moses ?

Thanks and Regards
Praveen
