Can you please send me the moses.ini file you're using and the exact
command you're executing.
You should be able to tune without a LM. I've done it myself a couple of
years ago. There's no distinction between a LM and any other feature
function

Returning to an old discussion we once had on this list.
I've tried to tune some systems with no reference in the configuration
file to a language model so that I can do Moses justice when comparing
it to a number of lines of work I have done that use only translation
models and various schemes of phrase table filtering.
It seems that the tuning script will not run when supplied with a
config file minus a reference to a language model. I could run a
baseline with the weights learned from tuning with a config file but
again this would be almost as meaningless as comparing my work against
a Moses system with default weights as the weights would not be
optimised to a system with no language model. I'm trying to come up
with some kind of work around so that I can make a TM only Moses based
baseline with sensible weights in the config file that are optimised
to a TM only situation (no LM). I'm running short of ideas about how
best to approach this.
I was wondering if the following approach might work. If I was to make
some kind of minimal dummy LM file with only one entry for some work
which doesn't exist would that be enough to fool the MERT script to
run so I could get some sensible weights optimised to a no LM scenario?
I'm open to any other suggestions of how I can obtain such weights if
anybody knows a clever way of doing this.
Just to be clear this support request is not an invitation to discuss
whether or not one would want to tune a system with no language model
or not.
