Hi,

since the phrase table can be quite huge, it has been standard practice to
filter and binarize the filtered phrase table for tuning and testing.

It is not clear, if this is actually still the best practice, since in the
last years RAM in machines has increased and translation model size
compared to language model size is much smaller.
