11-731 Machine Translation: Homework 7 - Questions and Clarifications


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.
