  • NOT recommended for any production system
• OnDiskPT
  • the only implementation to support syntax-based MT
• CompactPT
  • small and fast once built
  • filter phrase tables first for optimal performance
  • slow to build
• Mmsapt
  • sampling phrase table based on suffix arrays
  • fast loads, fast performance due to caching
  • much faster built time than the other phrase tables; no phrase extraction or phrase scoring ahead of time required
