<DIV><B>Subject:</B> GT coefficients</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><BR></DIV>Hello!<BR><BR>If I count GT
coefficients in advance and then feed GT-files (generated by make-gt-discounts)
to ngram-count or make-big-lm, I get warnings of the kind<BR><BR>file.gt1: line
9: warning: discount coefficient 1 = 0.0<BR>file.gt1: line 9: warning: discount
coefficient 2 = 0.0<BR>...<BR><BR>and so on for all the gt parameters. Files
themselves are alright and do not contain any zeroes. Number next to line
corresponds to the last line in a gt-file. <BR>The model I get with this differs
from that I get when just use ngram-count without loading GT coefficients (it
appears much smaller in bigrams and trigrams) with the same gtmin and gtmax
values. <BR>Could anybody tell me why it happens like this? <BR><BR><BR>best
regards,<BR>Ilya
