[Moses notes] compiling Moses decoder with NPLM

ACL2014 's best paper Fast and robust neural Network Joint Models to statistical machine translation uses deep learning knowledge in SMT, and presents a Neura L Network Joint Model (in fact, the fusion of source-end language knowledge to do language models), the results of the experiment presented in this paper claimed to greatly improve the previous translation performance based on N-gram language model translation system.

The Moses of the Open source machine translation system is also implemented and integrated. See [1]

An implementation of Devlin et al., a neural network language model, uses a Target-side history as well as source-side Context, is implemented in Moses as BILINGUALLM. It uses nplm as back-end (check its installation instructions).  

But Moses himself named him bilingual neural LM (bilingual neural Network language model).

As with other language models, Moses treats it as a translation feature (feature) into its own decoder. The integration of features is described in [1]. But if impatient, just change the Moses configuration file Mose.ini, in the training and decoding phase, using the previous common Moses decoder (usually using KENLM or srilm as a language model), the Moses decoder will not be able to identify the error feature.

See [1], the correct procedure is:

1. Install the Neural Network Language Model tool (a Neural network language Model Toolkit) NPLM.

2. Take parameters at compile time

• --with-nplm=<root dir of the NPLM toolkit>

But I encountered a problem during the installation process:

unable to load Boost.Build:could not find" Boost-build.jam "
Attempted search from/path/to/mosesdecoder up to the root at/path/to/mosesdecoder/share/boost-build. And in these directories from Boost_build_path and boost_root:/usr/share/boost-build

At first, I've been thinking of the Boost library installation error. Refer to [2],[3] and so on, to boost a burst of toss. Without any effect ....
