-cdec is a fast decoder.
-
-SPEED COMPARISON
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Here is a comparison with a couple of other decoders doing SCFG decoding:
-
- Decoder Lang. BLEU Run-Time Memory
- cdec c++ 31.47 0.37 sec/sent 1.0-1.1GB
- Joshua Java 31.55 2.34 sec/sent 4.0-4.8GB
- Hiero Python 31.22 27.2 sec/sent 1.7-1.9GB
-
-The maximum number of pops from candidate heap at each node is k=30, no other
-pruning, 3gm LM, Chinese-English translation task.
-
-
-GETTING STARTED
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-See the BUILDING file for instructions on how to build the software. To
-explore the decoder's features, the best way to get started is to look
-at cdec's command line options or to have a look at the test cases in
-the tests/system_tests/ directory. Each of these can be run with a command
-like ./cdec -c cdec.ini -i input.txt -w weights . The files should be
-self explanatory.
-
-
-EXTRACTING A SYNCHRONOUS GRAMMAR / PHRASE TABLE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-cdec does not include code for generating grammars. To build these, you will
-need to write your own software or use an existing package like Joshua, Hiero,
-or Moses.
-
-
-OPTIMIZING / TRAINING MODELS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-cdec does include code for optimizing models, according to a number of
-training criteria, including training models as CRFs (with latent derivation
-variables), MERT (over hypergraphs) to opimize BLEU, TER, etc.
-
-Eventually, I will provide documentation for this.
-
-
-ALIGNMENT / SYNCHRONOUS PARSING / CONSTRAINED DECODING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-cdec can be used as an aligner. For examples, see the test cases.
