speed-up of decoding depends on how much time is spent in parser:
10-50% speed-up for string-to-tree systems observed (more on long sentences and with high max-chart-span).
if you only use hiero or string-to-tree models (but none with source syntax), use compile-option --unlabelled-source for (small) efficiency gains.
This reverts commit d2d508184e.
there's problems with gcc 4.5, and apparently different problems with new boost versions; sticking with C++03 for the time being.
Currently, the code compiles, but has not been run or tested.
Steps to compile with maxent LM are below:
- Download SRILM 1.6.0
- Download the maxent patch from
http://www.phon.ioc.ee/~tanela/srilm-me/srilm-1.6.0-me.patch
- Download the required libLBFGS library from
http://www.chokkan.org/software/liblbfgs
- Edit SRILM's sbin/machine-type script
to return MACHINE_TYPE=i686-m64 for case x86_64
- Compile libLBFGS and install it in the /tools/SRILM/SRILM-1.7.0 directory.
Make sure that the liblbfgs.* library files are in /tools/SRILM/SRILM-1.7.0/lib//
- In the /tools/SRILM/SRILM-1.7.0 dir, apply the maxent patch to SRILM:
patch -p1 < srilm-1.6.0-me.patch
- Point the appropriate SRILM makefile
to see libLBFGS's include and lib dirs, following the instructions at:
http://www.phon.ioc.ee/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=people:tanel:srilm-me.en
- Compile SRILM
- Compile Moses using --with-srilm and --with-maxent-srilm:
./bjam --with-srilm=/tools/SRILM/SRILM-1.7.0 --with-maxent-srilm=true
NOTE: The above steps were for my original integration.
Current versions of SRILM (such as 1.7.1) include the maxent patch.
As such, it should be sufficient to compile a current version of SRILM
with support form maxent enabled,
and then compile Moses using --with-srilm and --with-maxent-srilm:
./bjam --with-srilm=/tools/SRILM/SRILM-1.7.0 --with-maxent-srilm=true
