Description

Hi,

I followed the steps in issue 33 and saved fwd_params, fwd_err, rev_params and rev_err after running fast_align on the training corpus. Later I compared the alignment results by running fast_align from scratch and running force_align.py with the saved params on that training corpus.

I was expecting fast_align produces exactly the same alignments either from scratch or by force_align, but I got different alignments.

I'm sure I followed the correct steps to run these comparisons, so I'm wondering why the alignments are differnt.

Research direction

Reproduce the comparison described in issue 33 using fast_align from scratch and force_align.py with the saved fwd_params, fwd_err, rev_params, and rev_err on the training corpus. Trace why the two runs produce different alignments, then document or correct the behavior so the expected relationship is clear and verified by the comparison.
