[Moses-support] POS LM

There is pos.lm of the target language in factored model training. I want to know the steps involved in preparing the POS.lm and the kind of input parameters altogether.

[Moses-support] POS translation

Dear All,
I am looking for using moses to translate some sentence that contains POS. for example : I want a fly for the first of november I want to keep my POS by using the “-xml-input pass-through” option like :

input : I want a fly for the first of november
output : je veux un vol pour le premier novembre

but I didn’t find any clue about the probabilities that can be associated to my POS in the moses translation process.
Is there any one can give me some information about it ?

Thanks,

Christophe

[Moses-support] Building POS language model with SRILM
Hi,
The Moses manual recommends using the following switches when building a language model with SRILM:
　　-interpolate -kndiscount
I assume this recommendation applies specifically to surface-string language models. For a part-of-speech language model, KN-discounting is inappropriate because it is based on counts-of-counts, and the counts-of-counts for POSes are odd in that there are very few POSes that occur only once or twice in a given corpus.
Are there particular switches that are recommended for building a POS
language model with SRILM?
Regards,
Ben Gottesman
