Hi -- There are several free pre-packaged Moses distributions, many of which are listed here: http://www.statmt.org/moses/?n=Moses.Packages
However I don't know of any free hosting service; as you point out, running a server is expensive. I have just released Box, a pre-packaged machine on the Amazon cloud that comes with Moses (and others[*]) already installed. This was my personal project at the MT Marathon in May, and I guess this is the release announcement I forgot to make :) Box isn't free to use, but does have the advantage that you only pay for the resources you use (and all the machines start exactly the same). The per-hour prices are based on Amazon's basic fees, so you can do this all yourself also but you'll save less than 10%. The per-hour advantage is that if you have other work to do for a week (or half a day), you kill the virtual machine and don't pay for that time. Also you can launch a tiny machine just to decode, and a bigger one to train, and turn them off as soon as you finish. This might help your hardware budget go farther. Also, for the same budget, you can run bigger machines, or simply more of them, and get more experimental throughput for your money. Finally, I think you can also apply directly to Amazon to get research funding in the form of free credit for use on their cloud: https://aws.amazon.com/grants/ and that might be your best bet to get free hosting. You can of course use the Amazon credits to run your own machine instead of one of mine, but also of course I think my way is a little easier :) Box is currently in stable beta (v2015-05-25). You can join the mailing list for announcements/questions here: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/boxresearch Box itself you get by signing up (free) with here: https://portal.aws.amazon.com/gp/aws/user/subscription/index.html?offeringCode=49B2A70F (it takes a few seconds to load; don't know why). After you sign up for Box, you can launch an instance directly via this link: https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-east-1#LaunchInstanceWizard:ami=ami-1d678876 or by searching for the AMI code "ami-1d678876" They're normal machines; it will boot in about a minute and then you just ssh in as usual (or use one of the Apple or Windows interfaces) and use your regular tools and scripts. You have complete sudo access to the machine so you can update or add anything you like. Privacy controls are pretty good; you control who can can access your machine. Useful for working on restricted data. There are general instructions here: https://box.groovehq.com/knowledge_base/topics/box-how along with some hints on how to avoid getting hit with some of the Amazon fees. There are also some Moses-specific comments here: https://box.groovehq.com/knowledge_base/topics/moses-on-box My goal is to make it easy for everyone to get work done. As such, let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything at all that isn't clear about the process or instructions. Cheers, ~amittai [*] Also includes cdec installed. Everything is installed under /opt/ directory, so it's a neat and tidy environment. The full list of installed tools is: cdec, cmph, ducttape, eigen3, fast_align, giza-pp, kenlm, mgiza, mosesdecoder, multeval, rnnlm, salm, scala, vowpal-wabbit, and word2vec, with more on the way. Suggestions welcome!
