MGIZA++
Introduction
MGIZA++ is a software based on the famous word-alignment software GIZA++. Since GIZA++ is an signal-processing software and the processing of GIZA++ is time-consuming, MGIZA++ modify the structure of GIZA++ and then support the multi-thread architecture.
Support Word Alignment Model
- IBM Model 1
- IBM Model 2
- IBM Model 3
- IBM Model 4
- IBM Model 5
- IBM Model 6
- Hidden Markov Model
Install
For more information about how to install MGIZA++, please go to Install MGIZA++.
Input File Format
The input format of MGIZA++ is almost the same with GIZA++, please read the GIZA++#Input_Format part to get more idea.
The only different between these two softwares is for the cooccurence file. MGIZA++ needs cooccurence file for processing. To get the coocurence file, please input the commend
giza-pp/snt2cooc.out vocFile1 vocFile2 snt12
Parameters
The parameters for MGIZA++ is also almost the same with GIZA++, please refer to the GIZA++#Parameters part.
Since the MGIZA++ is for multi-processing GIZA++ training, the only different parameter is the number of CPUs using in the processing. Please indicate how many CPUs by using -ncpu NUM.
Run
The configure file is the same with GIZA++. Please refer to GIZA++#Run.
mgiza-pp/mgiza configure.gizacfg -ncpu NUM
