Documentation The open documentation issues fall into these three categories: * Beta documentation for testers * Documentation for the online corpora * General documentation improvement after Steinar's test (for open-source release) TODO: * write form to request corpus user account (__Børre, Sjur, Trond__) ** delayed till after the beta release * document how to apply for access to closed corpus, and details on the corpus and its use in general (__Børre, Sjur, Trond__) ** delayed till after the beta release * correct and improve it based on feedback from __Steinar__ (__Børre__) ** low priority * beta documentation (see separate beta section below) !!!4. Corpus gathering TODO: * {{sme}} texts: no new additions, fix corpus errors during this month (__Børre, Trond, Saara__) * missing {{nob}} parallel texts should be added if such holes are found (__Børre, Trond__) * Go through the list of missing or errouneous {{nob}} texts, based upon __Saara's__ perfect list (__Børre, Trond__) * add {{sma}} texts to the corpus repository (__Børre__) * contact ''Davvi Girji / Mikal Aase'' (__Børre, Sjur__) !!!5. Corpus infrastructure Nothing? !!!6. Infrastructure __TODO:__ * update and fix our documentation and infrastructure as __Steinar__ finds problem areas (__Børre__) * fix internet setup for __Per-Eric's__ satelite modem (__Sjur, Børre__) ** this influences iChat, SEE sharing, and ARD connetions * Translate the paradigm pages to Sámi, fix all the {{se}} links (__Børre, Trond__) !!!7. Linguistics !!North Sámi TODO: * lexicalise actio compounds. Example: ''vuolggasadji'' vs. ''vuolginsadji'' (__Maaren__) ** possibly turn on free compounding as part of the PLX conversions (ie free compounding in the spellers, but not in the analyzers/transducers) * fix stuorra-oslolaš lower case {{o}} (__Sjur, Thomas, Trond__) ** postponed till after the public beta !!Lule Sámi TODO: * refine {{smj}} proper noun lexica, cf. the propernoun-smj-lex.txt (__Thomas, Trond__) * write two-level rules to handle -ge/-k clitic alternation (__Thomas__) !!!8. Name lexicon infrastructure Decisions made in Tromsø can be found in [this meeting memo.|/doc/admin/physical_meetings/tromso-2006-08-propnoun.html] __TODO:__ # fix bugs in lexc2xml; add comments to the log element (__Saara__) # 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__) # implement data synchronisation between [risten.no|http://www.risten.no] and the cvs repo, and possibly other servers (ie the G5 as an alternative server to the public risten.no - it might be faster and better suited than the official one; also local installations could be treated the same way) # 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 !!OOo speller(s) TODO after the MS Office Beta is delivered: * add Hunspell data generation to the lexc2xspell (__Tomi__ - after the PLX data generation is finished) * study the Hunspell formalism in detail (__Børre, Sjur, Tomi__) !!Testing !Spelling Error Markup __TODO:__ * Manually mark test texts for typos (making them into gold standards) (__Steinar__) * Set up ways of adding meta-information (source info, used in testing or not, added to lexicon or not) * Conduct tests on new beta versions on the basis of the unspoiled gold standard documents (__whoever has time__), and fill in data from testing (the testers: __who?__) * include the files already publically tested into the {{prooftest}} cataloge (__Steinar, Trond__) * test each version before beta release !Testing tools __TODO:__ * document the AppleScript testing tool (__Sjur__) * improve speller test bench (__Sjur__) ** integrate the ccat speller testing options in the Makefile (__Sjur, Tomi__) !Regression tests __TODO:__ * add extraction of all known spelling errors in the corpus (not the {{prooftest}} corpus), and check that they are properly corrected (__Børre, Sjur__) * test the {{typos.txt}} list, and check that all entries are properly corrected (__Børre, Sjur__) * consider how to do a regression __self-test__, ie, how to test the full wordlist (__Børre, Sjur__) ** extract all the base forms in the lexicon, and run them through the speller ** extract all SUB-marked entries, and run them through the lexicon *** integrate these in the make file (__Sjur__) !!Localisation We need to translate the info added to our front page (and a separate page) regarding the beta release. Also the press release needs to be translated. TODO: * translate beta release docs to {{sme}} (__Thomas__) * translate beta release docs to {{smj}} (__Thomas__) !!Lexicon conversion to the PLX format __TODO:__ * install larger disks, new RAM on the G5 when they arrive (__Børre__) * ask for mklex for Linux (victorio) from Polderland (__Sjur__) * ask Xerox for a commercial lisense for the xfst tools on the G5 (__Sjur__) * add compounding restrictions to the PLX convertion (__Tomi__) !Compounding restrictions How to include compounding restriction comment tags in the transducers: {{{ giv0ri:giv'ri ALBMI ; !+SgNomCmp +SgGenCmp +PlGenCmp => (using a perl script or similar) +SgNomCmp+SgGenCmp+PlGenCmpgiv0ri:giv'ri ALBMI ; !+SgNomCmp +SgGenCmp +PlGenCmp }}} __TODO:__ # improve prefix conversion to PLX (__Tomi__) # improve middle noun conversion to PLX (__Tomi__) # improve noun + adjective PLX conversion: (__Tomi__) ## compounding stems - how do we generate them? Using the java client? {{+SgNomCmp+Cmpnd}} = {{sáme–}}, should give the correct compounding stem, shouldn't it? We want to __optionally__ go from: {{sáme- NLI}} to {{sáme NL}}: {{- NLI (->) NL}}, which means we should be able to extract correct compounding stems using xfst methods only. ## compounding tags - we need to obey them when making the transducers. Suggestion - see above. # make conversion test sample; add conversion testing to the make file (__Tomi__) ## to regression test / QA the PLX conversion. # improve number conversion (__Børre, Tomi__) # ask for larger disk for the web server (__Trond, Børre__) !!Errors in latest speller build __TODO__ ''after'' the final public beta: * first part of multiword expressions not accepted (__Tomi__) * compound restrictions/rules not yet integrated in speller fsts (but the tags necessary to do this can now be included in the transducer) (__Tomi__) * suomasápmelaš vs suopmasápmelaš - now both are accepted (which is an improvement - earlier only suopmasápmelaš was accepted). What is correct? Only the first one. The second one should be banned by the compound restrictions. * {{smj}}: __öä__ not accepted, only __øæ__ (except for lexicalised names) (__Thomas__) * ŋ and ñ and ń in {{smj}} (__Sjur, Polderland__) !!Public Beta release Schedule: May 22, evening: deadline for linguistic fixes and updates May 23, morning: Release Candidate (RC) spellers ready for testing May 23: press release, untranslated web pages README May 24: Linguistic testing finished May 25: translation of press release web pages translated README translated __DEADLINE/RELEASE:__ Tuesday May 29. __TEST__ before public beta release: * Actio compounds (__Thomas, Steinar__) * download and installation on all platforms, following our instructions (__Steinar, Børre__) * deinstallation (__Steinar, Børre__) * linguistic testing (typos, at least one of the documents marked up by __Steinar__) (__Thomas, Børre__) __TODO:__ * fix clitics (__Tomi__) * include improved numbers (__Børre__) * finish press release (__Sjur__) * add info to front page (incl. download links) (__Børre__) ** download page made, only needs to add the speller beta when it is ready. * write separate page with detailed info (incl. download links) (__Børre__) ** a separate page for the beta speller, with installation instructions, etc. * translate press release, web pages (__Børre, Thomas, whoever__) * forward list of PR recipients to __Berit Karen Paulsen__ (__Sjur__) ** update: the persons to contact are: __Pål Hivand__ or __John Markus Kuhmunen__ * update installer packages with latest speller lexicons (__Børre__ (Win), __Sjur__ (Mac)) * README file: (__Børre, Sjur__) ** list of known issues ** how to give us feedback ** what to give us feedback about (including: send in your user dictionary after a month or so) ** inform about the rights to the source, as well as the availability of the speller ** needs to be written in all languages ** make a PDF of the readme, to avoid encoding problems; text versions should be included too !!!10.
