Code Guide

Downloading and installing the workshop software on Ubuntu Hardy

Quick Start

• The main function: moses-cmd/src/Main.cpp
• Initialize the decoder
  • moses/src/Parameter.cpp specifies parameters
  • moses/src/StaticData.cpp contains globals, loads tables
• Process a sentence
  • Manager.cpp implements the decoding algorithm
  • TranslationOptionCollection.cpp contains translation options
  • Hypothesis.cpp represents partial translation
  • HypothesisStack.cpp contain viable hypotheses, implements pruning
• Output results: moses-cmd/src/Main.cpp
  • moses-cmd/src/IOStream::OutputBestHypo print best translation
  • n-best lists generated in Manager.cpp, output in IOStream.cpp
