Usage: $executable [options] <ini file>

	$executable [options] <ini file>
		Runs a complete PRO optimization using the ini file specified.

Required:

	--ref-files <files>
		Dev set ref files.  This option takes only a single string argument.
		To use multiple files (including file globbing), this argument should
		be quoted.

	--source-file <file>
		Dev set source file.

	--weights <file>
		Initial weights file (use empty file to start from 0)

General options:

	--help
		Print this message and exit.

	--max-iterations <M>
		Maximum number of iterations to run.  If not specified, defaults
		to $default_max_iter.

	--metric <method>
		Metric to optimize.
		Example values: IBM_BLEU, NIST_BLEU, Koehn_BLEU, TER, Combi

	--pass-suffix <S>
		If the decoder is doing multi-pass decoding, the pass suffix "2",
		"3", etc., is used to control what iteration of weights is set.

	--workdir <dir>
		Directory for intermediate and output files.  If not specified, the
		name is derived from the ini filename.  Assuming that the ini
		filename begins with the decoder name and ends with ini, the default
		name of the working directory is inferred from the middle part of
		the filename.  E.g. an ini file named decoder.foo.ini would have
		a default working directory name foo.

Regularization options:

	--reg <F>
		l2 regularization strength [default=500]. The greater this value,
		the closer to zero the weights will be.

	--reg-previous <F>
		l2 penalty for moving away from the weights from the previous
		iteration. [default=5000]. The greater this value, the closer
		to the previous iteration's weights the next iteration's weights
		will be.

Job control options:

	--jobs <I>
		Number of decoder processes to run in parallel. [default=$default_jobs]

	--qsub
		Use qsub to run jobs in parallel (qsub must be configured in
		environment/LocalEnvironment.pm)

	--pmem <N>
		Amount of physical memory requested for parallel decoding jobs
		(used with qsub requests only)

Deprecated options:

	--interpolate-with-weights <F>
		[deprecated] At each iteration the resulting weights are
		interpolated with the weights from the previous iteration, with
		this factor. [default=1.0, i.e., no effect]
