Hi, Michel
To help you estimate the training budget, we plan to provide a training cost estimate (based on language pair, sentence count, etc) soon. For model quality, it is impossible to guarantee the model performance, since it depends on the training data you provide. We are working to provide tools that detect data quality issues. Hopefully this will reduce the possibility of producing a bad model.
Michael:
We understand the difficulty for people without programming experience to use the prediction API. We are working to further reduce this difficulty with more integrations.
One clarifying question: Can you elaborate on: “otherwise there are many tag soups in your trained model”? What is the input format you want us to support (if you think tsv/tmx are not good enough)?
