The new phrase table can be used in-memory or be partially mapped on-disk. Compared to the standard Moses on-disk phrase table implementation a size reduction by a factor of 6 is achieved. The focus of this work lies on the source phrase index which is implemented using minimal perfect hash functions. Two methods are discussed that reduce the memory consumption of a baseline implementation.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/space-efficient-phrase-table-implementation-using-minimal-perfect-hash-functions/}, pages = {320-327}, edition = {International Conference on Text, Speech and Dialogue}, }
