Documentation TODO: * write form to request corpus user account (__Børre, Sjur, Trond__) * document how to apply for access to closed corpus, and details on the corpus and its use in general (__Børre, Sjur, Trond__) * correct and improve documentation (infrastructure) (__Børre__) !!!4. Corpus gathering __Per-Eric__ has talked with some more authors (__Sigga Tuolja-Sandström, Susanna Kuoljok Angeus, Karin Tuolja__), and sent a contract to the first one. TODO: * Go through the list of missing or errouneous {{nob}} texts, based upon __Saara's__ perfect list (__Trond__) * add {{sma}} texts to the corpus repository (__Børre__) !!!5. Corpus infrastructure Nothing this week either. !!!6. Infrastructure __TODO:__ * update and fix our documentation and infrastructure (__Børre__) * fix internet setup for __Per-Eric's__ satelite modem (__Sjur__) !!!7. Linguistics !!North Sámi We have got a number of twol problems after we tried to solve some remaining issues. We now either have to go back to the (almost) working version, or try to get the present version on feet again. The first step to do is to add more test pairs. The {{sme}} names from Finland is still not added to the lexicon (__Børre__ has them). This could be done by __Ilona__. __Sjur__ will ask __Trond__. 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__) * open up compounding for all actios in the PLX format (__Tomi__) * ask __Trond__ whether __Ilona__ can add the {{sme}} place names from Finland (__Sjur__) !!Lule Sámi The {{æ-ä}} alternation issue has turned into an interesting direction. With the latest speller (29.6.), it behaves like the following: {{{ dæbbaga - ok däbbaga - däbboga dæbbaga dæbbaga-- dibága dibága-- dubága dubága-- tubága vællahit - ok vällahit - vællahit vellahit gæhtjáj - ok gähtjáj - ok }}} That is, {{ä}} works in some cases, but not in other. {{æ}} seems to work everywhere it should. __Per-Eric__ will ask __Nils-Olof Sortelius__ at __Sámedigge in Sweden__ about {{smj}} place names in Sweden. TODO: * refine {{smj}} proper noun lexica, cf. the propernoun-smj-lex.txt (__Thomas, Trond__) * {{ä-æ}} in speller (__Thomas, Sjur__) ** does only work partially, see data above. * lexicalise words from the Olavi missing list, but check against the pdf original where in doubt (__Per-Eric__) ** still some to do * actios of 3-syllable verbs must be checked in the next speller (__Thomas, Per-Eric__) * adverbs of 3-syllable adjectives must be tested in the next speller (__Thomas, Per-Eric__) * add compounding tags to: ** nouns (__Thomas__) ** adjs (__Per-Eric__) * ask __SD/Sweden__ about {{smj}} place names (__Per-Eric__) !!!8. Name lexicon infrastructure Decisions made in Tromsø can be found in [this meeting memo.|/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 spellers __Tomi__ is working on the lexicon conversion to the Hunspell format. Some issues to solve. Software problems on the G5 - will be added to Bugzilla. TODO: * add Hunspell data conversion (__Tomi__) * add G5 bug to Bugzilla (__Tomi__) !!Testing !Spelling Error Markup __Steinar__ finished his job last week, and copied it all over to victorio. There is still some clean-up to do, mainly because the markup is added to the xml files, and not the originals. The present conversion process doesn't handle error markup in this format. __TODO:__ * Set up ways of adding meta-information (source info, used in testing or not, added to lexicon or not) (__Saara__) * either make use of the error markup in the xml format, or move it to (a copy of) the original (__Saara, Sjur__) !Testing tools __TODO:__ * document the AppleScript testing tool (__Sjur__) * improve speller test bench (__Sjur__) ** integrate the {{ccat}} speller testing options in the Makefile (__Sjur__) *** working on it !Regression tests __Tomi__ will utilize oe of the java classes in the PLX conversion tool, to create a separate tool/command to extract the baseforms from the {{lexc}} lexicons. The baseforms will be used as part of our regression testing, both for our transducers and spellers. __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__) * how to do a regression __self-test__: ** extract all the base forms in the lexicon, and run them through the speller ** extract all SUB-marked entries, and run them through the speller *** integrate these in the make file (__Sjur__) ** make baseform extraction tool (__Tomi__) !!Lexicon conversion to the PLX format It seems that we don't need to get new licenses from either Polderland or Xerox - __Børre's__ nice {{ssh}} solution is working very well for {{smj}}. There was a problem with {{sme}} that needs to be investigated. __TODO:__ * ask for mklex for Linux (victorio) from Polderland (__Sjur__) ** delayed until the present ssh solution is tested more * ask Xerox for a commercial lisense for the xfst tools on the G5 (__Sjur__) ** delayed until the present ssh solution is tested more !!Publicity follow-up __Per-Eric__ is being interviewed next week by __Anna Sunna__ (SR Sámi Radio), and will be demonstrating installation and usage of the proofing tools. !!New public beta It will be delayed till after the summer. There's a small possibility that we can post a {{sme}} update to core users (e.g. Min Áigi), using our drag-and-drop installation solution. But there are presently too many open issues to solve before people go on holiday, to be able to release a full public beta 2. !!!10. Other !!Summer vacation When are we taking it?
