Corpus gathering __Trond__ finally got the {{sma}} texts from Snåsa, quite a lot of text, but not all. __Børre__ will add it to the corpus repository. The relevant persons have worked on the tasks below. TODO: * {{sme}} texts: no new additions, fix corpus errors during this month (__Børre, Trond, Saara__) * missing {{nob}} parallel texts should be added if such wholes are found (__Børre, Trond__) * Go through the list of missing or errouneous nob texts, based upon Saaras perfect list (__Børre, Trond__) * add {{sma}} texts to the corpus repository (__Børre__) !!!5. Corpus infrastructure __Lars Nygård__ has left UiO. __Anders Nøklestad__ is back in his old position. For us, this means that __Anders__ will be the person to contact for technical matters, and __Kristin Hagen__ the one for parsing of the {{nob}} parallel texts. !!Alignment __TODO:__ * go through other directories, fix parallelity information for other documents (__Børre__) ** Still to be done. * re-analyze parallel files using the command-line version (__Saara__) ** done all existing files * when aligned, send aligned, xml {{nob}} texts to __Kristin__ (__Saara__) ** not yet done !!Conversion issues __TODO:__ * add correction markup to the xml files (string-to-correction markup) (__Saara__) ** see news discussion - we will and should allow text corrections concerning character encoding problems. * report conversion errors to __Saara__ (__Trond, Steinar__) ** Not done. !!!6. Infrastructure Nothing this week. !!!7. Linguistics !!North Sámi TODO: * lexicalise actio compounds. Example: ''vuolggasadji'' vs. ''vuolginsadji'' (__Thomas, Maaren, Steinar__) * Lack of lowering before hyphen: Twol rewrite. (__Thomas, Trond__) * fix stuorra-oslolaš lower case {{o}} (__Sjur, Thomas, Trond__) !Numbers: One problem we have is to correctly identify base forms of numerals, cf: (the baseform of 16 is given as 6) {{{ guhttanuppelohkái guhttanuppelohkái guhtta+Num+Sg+Nom guhttanuppelohkái guhtta+Num+Sg+Acc }}} TODO: * discontinous case inflection (but only for maximally three-part compound numerals) ({{viđain/goalmmát/logiin}} and {{guvttiin/logiin/viđain}}) (__Thomas, Trond__) * produce correct base forms in the analyzer (__Thomas, Trond__) * include numbers in the non-recursive transducers (i.e. split the recursive and the non-recursive part of the numerals) (__Trond, Thomas__) * Set up test bed for numerals, test and revise (__who?__) * Make a test bed {{make num-paradigm}} (__Trond__) * Go through the Num bugs (__Trond, Thomas, Steinar__) * Preprocessing of ordinals at the end of sentences - reported as bug #368. (__Trond__) !Hyphenation problem TODO: * write diphthong hyphenation pseudocode (__Thomas__) ** done for both {{sme}} and {{smj}} * rewrite hyphenation code (__Trond__) ** done for both {{sme}} and {{smj}} * ask Ove Lorentz to report on our {{sma}} hyphenator (__Trond__) ** Not done. !!Lule Sámi It could actually be that the {{smj}} numerals are not recursive. They were made differently from the {{sme}} ones, since Spiik reported them as written sepa- rately. TODO: * refine {{smj}} proper noun lexica, cf. the propernoun-smj-lex.txt (__Thomas, Trond__) * Lack of lowering/fronting before hyphen: Twol rewrite. (__Thomas, Trond__) * include numbers in the non-recursive transducers * Set up a test bed for numerals, test and revise (__who?__) !!!8. Name lexicon infrastructure Decisions made in Tromsø can be found in [the meeting memo.|/doc/admin/physical_meetings/tromso-2006-08-propnoun.html] Postponed: * data synchronisation between [risten.no|http://www.risten.no] and the cvs repo TODO: # try to make a first version of xml2lexc in Perl for testing and preparation for the big jump (__Saara__) ## done # restructure interface code for easier maintenance, coding and use ## well under way, still some work # finish first version of the editing (__Sjur__) # test editing of the xml files. If ok, then: (__Sjur, Thomas, Trond__) # make terms-smX.xml <=== automatically from propernoun-sme-lex.xml (add nob as well) (the morphological section should be kept intact, in e.g. propernoun-sme-morph.txt) (__Sjur, Saara__) # convert propernoun-($lang)-lex.txt to a derived file from common xml files (__Sjur, Tomi, Saara__) # start to use the xml file as source file # clean terms-sme.xml such that all names have the correct tag for their use (e.g. @type=secondary) (__Thomas, Maaren, linguists__) # merge placenames which are errouneously in different entries: e.g. Helsinki, Helsingfors, Helsset (__linguists__) # publish the name lexicon on risten.no (__Sjur__) # add missing parallel names for placenames (__linguists__) # add informative links between first names like Niillas and Nils (__linguists__) !!!9. Spellers !!Polderland data generation There is now a decision on compound parts, and compounding can now be included in the PLX generation. Compounding is a sine qua non (a must) for the beta version. The specification is found in [this document.|/doc/lang/common/compoundtags.html] We have a UTF-8 problem with the paradigm server in some cases, some characters are returned as Latin1. When the server runs on G5, everything works fine. But when it is run on victorio, some conversion errors turn up. The problem may be Java-related, according to some net sources, and also with the perl settings in victorio, related to the change in perl setup. Suggestion: Just use the G5, and not victorio, since there is no time to fix the setup in victorio (the real error). __TODO:__ # decide how to specify compounding behaviour info for the lexicon (__Thomas, Trond, Sjur__) ## Done! # add closed POS and clitics to PLX generation (__Børre, Tomi__) ## Progressing. # add compound stems to the PLX generation (__Børre, Tomi__) # add derivations to the PLX generation (__Børre, Tomi__) # Include numerals in the speller (__Børre, Tomi__) !!Aspell TODO when the major part of the PLX conversion is done: * add Aspell/Hunspell data generation to the lexc2xspell (__Tomi__ - after the PLX data generation is finished) * study Hunspell, perhaps also Soikko (__Børre, Sjur, Tomi__) !!Testing __TODO:__ * get an Intel Mac for testing Windows spellers (__Børre, Sjur__) ** nothing yet !!Localisation TODO: * translate Windows installer text to {{sme}} and {{smj}} (__Børre, Thomas__) ** progressing (smj is mostly done, lots lacking in sme) !!!10. Other !!Corpus contracts TODO: * publish corpus contracts and project infra on NoDaLi-sta (__Sjur__) ** not done !!Bug fixing __56__ open Divvun/Disamb bugs, and __23__ risten.no bugs !!!11.
