Hi Alex,
I was not talking about the max phrase length of decoding but the max phrase of training.
it's ok, I got my answer in Phil's paper.
As a matter of fact, in EMS the default is 5 and not 7.
Cheers.

Hi Vincent,

It is a runtime parameter. It does not necessary match the max phrase of training. It also affects how xml-input is handled. If you are using translation constrains, this parameter has to be set to the maximum number of covered source words.
I think that the default is set at 20.

Best regards,
Al. Ceausu

    Hello,

    Does someone have some support to this (found in the doc) :

    Maximum Phrase Length

    The maximum length of phrases is limited to 7 words. The maximum
    phrase
    length impacts the size of the phrase translation table, so shorter
    limits may be desirable, if phrase table size is an issue. Previous
    experiments have shown that performance increases only slightly when
    including phrases of more that 3 words.

    Summary

         --max-phrase-length -- maximum length of phrases entered into
    phrase table (default 7)


    If there is no major improvement above 3, why is the default 7, and is
    there a benchmark somewhere ?


    Thanks
    Vincent.
