Question

I'm not able to change the initial values for weight-d and weight-l in the moses config file (moses.ini). No matter how I set those values, the weights never change and the result are always the same. How should I fix it?

Answer Can you specify these values in --lambdas parameter in mert-moses-new.pl script. Details about these settings can be found here http://www.statmt.org/moses/?n=FactoredTraining.Tuning.
