Thanks for that. Should save me quite some time.

Regarding the TM being much smaller than the LM I wouldn't place bets on that 
being the situation for much longer (smiles knowingly).

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.

The tutorial here http://www.statmt.org/moses/?n=moses.baseline seems to 
suggest that the tuning phase should be done without first binarising the 
phrase table and relinking the moses.ini file the binarised version. Am I 
reading this wrong or is this just an oversight. I am about to tune a number of 
systems so if binarising the phrase table before hand is likely to speed up the 
tuning process it would be useful to know before I set this thing running. Of 
course, I wouldn't usually complain about having an excuse not to do any work 
for a few days but, well, you know...
