Moses Support Digest: Any documentation about the Multiple Decoding Path functionality

[Moses-support] Any documentation about the Multiple Decoding Path functionality..

Hi All,

I have been using Moses for a couple of months now. I work in Domain Adaptation and I was using the Multiple Decoding Path functionality to combine multiple domain specific translation models.
While am comfortable using this functionality in my experiments, I was trying to know exactly how the mechanism runs in the back-end.
Is it possible to obtain any documentation on how exactly the Alternate
Multiple Decoding Path mechanism works.
Any paper or any pointers would be of great help.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Pratyush

domain adaptation would be a good use of the multiple decoding path feature. It’s described in the (Koehn & Hoang 2007) paper
