Documentation TODO: * documentation on how to apply for a user account for the corpus repo (__Børre__) ** The item will be moved to the TODO list, again. !!!4. Corpus gathering __Trond__ added __sme__ beuraucratic texts, roughly 0,4 mill words, total size now approaching 1,5 mill words. !! Trip to Sámi municipalities __Børre__ is on his trip. !!Collecting See a [previous meeting memo|Meeting_2006-01-16] for what's to be done. TODO: Send out the rest of the letters (__Børre__) !!Odin __Sæth__ replied by e-mail, hasn't had time to follow-up, but will try to include us in their plans. * __Børre__ will weekly mirror the URL mentioned in Sæths e-mail, and add missing files to the corpus. !!Olavi Korhonen's Lule Sámi dictionary. * No news this week TODO: __Børre__ to contact Olavi Korhonen and Kuhmunen !! KIO Grafisk and the Iđut books __TODO__: * send letters to the authors (__Børre__) * wait for the discussions with Davvi Girji ** A talk with Brita Kåven, revealed that they would have a look at the contracts __after__ easter. !!Bible texts We will get text from Finland, but still haven't received any. We have got the Swedish text from Sweden. As for the last html versions from Norway, __Trond__ has not contacted them last week. Swedish html has arrived, no paratext. Norsk bibelselskap has not sent corrected New Testament versions for sme, and not paratext for nno/nob. TODO: * convert smj NT to paratext (__Børre__) ** Not done * get fin, swe, nob and nno NT and OT in __paratext__ format. (__Trond__) ** Still no news !!Min Áigi __Børre__ has received texts, and forwarded them to __Trond__. Problems with Unicode in the filenames, as the non-ASCII characters are unparsed strings with the octal code of the character(s) in question: The files (appr 2000 files) are added, here: /usr/local/share/corp/orig/sme/news/MinAigi/ We have problems with Unicode characters in filenames. All characters with diacritics are stored decomposed on MacOS X, and when transferring the files to Linux (cochise) via a tar file, the characters are not recomposed, making the files accessible only by typing the combining diacritic - not nice. We also now have the same problem on Mac, making it in practice impossible to access a set of files like: {{{ a84-231-8-254:~ sjur$ l a+TAB áda áde ádo åde a84-231-8-254:~ sjur$ l a }}} This was solved once before, and we need to look at this again. The old Bugzilla issue should be reopened. __TODO__: * __Børre__ to contact __Per Christian Biti__ on technical issues (how to transfer texts). * reopen Bugzilla issue, and study the previous discussion and solution regarding Unicode characters in filenames (__Saara__) * add filename extensions to files not having one * investigate whether the bullet has a meaning or could be removed * Space in file names should be changed to underscore (and not to hyphen!). Unicode table, in case we need to recompose manually: {{{ á 0061 0301 č 0063 030C đ 0064 0335 ŋ 006E š 0073 030C ŧ 0074 0335 ž 007A 030C æ 00 ø 006F 0337 å 0061 030A ö 006F 0308 ä 0061 0308 Á 0041 0301 Č 0043 030C Đ 0044 0335 Ŋ 004E Š 0053 030C Ŧ 0054 0335 Ž 005A 030C Æ 00 Ø 004F 0337 Å 0041 030A Ö 004F 0308 Ä 0041 0308 }}} Min Áigi seems to have been changing from text files to MS Word around issue 015-05. !!Kåfjord Promised to send us texts, but nothing has arrived yet. __TODO__: __Børre__ to contact them. !!Sámi Instituhtta Audhild Schanche has signed the contract. We will have to contact them about transferring the texts. __TODO__: __Børre__ to contact them. !!!5. Corpus infrastructure http://www.divvun.no/doc/lang/corp/corpus-summary.html TODO: !!Changes and updates because of the Divvun public tender User account admin and infra: see [previous memo|/doc/admin/weekly/2006/Meeting_2006-03-06.html]. TODO: see above under ''Documentation.'' Automatic build of the content of our corpus repo: also see [previous memo|/doc/admin/weekly/2006/Meeting_2006-03-06.html]. TODO: * make free texts available ** done weekly by a cron script (but only if there are new files) (__Saara__) * Make a link, easily available, to these texts. ** done as a downloadable tar package. Name change again? {{{ gt -> gtbound/ gtbound -> some nifty new letter... ? gtfree -> some nifty new letter... ? }}} __ Trond__ to come up with some new suggestion. !!Free and non-free texts More info in a [previous meeting memo.|/doc/admin/weekly/2006/Meeting_2006-03-13.html] TODO: * Check the status of the texts, again. (__Børre, Trond__) * Rerun the conversion afterwards (__Saara__ is the one with the magic spell) * check against bugs [273|http://giellatekno.uit.no/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=273] and [272|http://giellatekno.uit.no/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=272] !!Linking parallel files DECISION: We'll keep the original filename, and store linking info in the header (has to be added manually). TODO: * develop the web interface for uploading to make it easier to add several documents in one go. (__Saara__) {{{ lg-a, lg-b

key file eq-link# lga-1 = lgb-1,2 eq-link# lga-2 = lgb-3 eq-link# lga-2 = lgb-4 }}} ...<.>... sme-dis.rle: DELIMITERS The preprocess and the aligner should agree on what is a sentence. (.!?) ... this is what sme-dis.rle will analyse <.> (sme-tdis.rle: DELIMITERS <¶>) !!More texts to the graphical corpus interface: TODO: * We would like to have more than the NT in the graphical interface http://omilia.uio.no/CE/sami/ (__Saara__) ** We add the largest texts first. * We would like to have grammatical searchability, not only POS. (__Saara__, __Trond__) * This presupposes a discussion with Oslo. (__Trond__ and __Saara__ to continue this discussion) * For Lule Sámi: We would like to have a parallel corpus interface with NT (text only). This presupposes better quality texts (__Trond, Børre__) ** Better Lule NT text still not made. * The list of good candicates: The longest (admin) texts. ** We need a ccat version of the script for analysing text, still keeping xml tags (__Tomi__). Top-two priorities: # Trond and Saara to discuss with Lars. # Lars to add text to the server. # Tomi to prepare for the parallel corpus. !!Language recognition TODO: * turn on language recognition, skipping Finnish (__Saara__) ** Done, it seems. * create a short word list to help the trigram heuristics ** Trond has made such lists for all lgs except sme, smj and nob. * send Saara sme, smj and nob files (sort, but not uniq -c) (__Trond__) * Add some flag to write into the xsl file (__Saara__): ** method:do not run lg recognition ** method:Choose between these 2:nob, sme !!!6. Infrastructure !!Aligner Today, we have two anchor files in addition to the original one. TODO: * Read documentation and try out, give feedback to Bergen. (__Trond__, __Saara__, __Tomi__) * conflate nno with nob into 'nor' (__Trond__, letters a, b, c done) ** Partly done, must go through and see. * __Saara__ to install the aligner, everyone to read the documentation ** done, waiting for the test files from Bergen. * __Trond__ and __Saara__ will continue this issue. !!Hyphenator Trond and Thomas have been updating the propernoun file with ^ tags. We need the tag in front of compound parts beginning in a vowel or in two or more consonants. Compound parts beginning with one consonant are handled correctly. TODO: * Remove the ^ signs from the UPPER level when generating (just like the TV and IV tags are removed today) (__Trond__) * correct the treatment of hyphenation of word boundaries and exceptions (fst gymnastics) (__Sjur, Trond__) * add a possibility to upload whole documents for hyphenation (and also analysis, generation, etc) (__Saara__) * we should log all and every word/text uploaded/hyphenated/analyzed etc ** we'll do it, but it does not have first priority (__Saara__) * add exceptions marks to the {{smj}} lexicon (boks^távva) !!!7. Linguistics !!General - hyphenation See discussion, open questions and decission in the [previous meeting memo.|/doc/admin/weekly/2006/Meeting_2006-04-03.html] TODO: * add all word boundaries (__Thomas__) ** Done: All sme; smj nouns and adjectives * Set up the mechanism for the hash transducer package - fst gymnastics, see above. !!North Sámi Nothing specific this week. !!Lule Sámi TODO: * add the rest of the inc- words (__Thomas__) ** everything added that is possible now, about 50 unknown words left+2 abbr. +moaddi etc (numerals) !!!8. Name lexicon infrastructure TODO: # refactor and prepare risten.no for multiple collections: ## refactor the code into more and more specific components according to our folder hierarchy (__Tomi, Sjur__) ### things are moving forward # develop the needed XQueries and interface (__Sjur, Tomi__) ## developing # data synchronisation between risten.no and the cvs repo (__Tomi__) ## nothing this week # test and review when ready Discussion postponed until Sjur is back. !!!9. Spellers Nothing until the new proper noun lexicon is in place. We don't have enough people to do both. !!!10. Public tender 2 offers received, from Polderland and Lingsoft. TODO: * read the offers (__Børre, Sjur, Trond, Tomi__) * meet on Friday to sum up the findings (__Sjur, Tomi, Trond__) * telephone meeting next Tuesday with Finnut (__Børre, Sjur__) !!!11. Other !!Bug fixing __50__ open Divvun/Disamb bugs, and __25__ risten.no bugs Please help Saara with bug 279. Not much help... Saara will contact Roy on this issue.
