Modernmt: Feature request : to be able to give a set of pairs to tune in each translation request

[EtienneAb3d]

One of the major problem we encountered, is the fact that some well-known terms are not well translated, even after having post-edited them a lot of times in a lot of different contexts. The fact that the context is each time different prevent MMT from finding a good example to tune the model with a given new sentence.

A feature that would be very very useful, would be to be able to provide by ourselves, in the translation request, a set of segment pairs to be used to tune the model, with the sentence to be translated. We could then for example identify some critical terms, and ask MMT to tune the model with them, right when they are useful for a translation.

This seems an interesting feature, we will definitely work on it.

You will certainly also need to be able to give a parameter with a (re-)training level.

I implemented this request for MMT 323 (the one I'm currently using, having problems with next ones).
I will soon give an other try to MMT 4, and then also try to port this feature on it.
