Corpus gathering

David: discussed with the Swedish Sámi Parliament, they want a written request. Sent soem contracts to Sakka Nejne (Ovmese vaajesh, Vaeksehke Maarja and Sanna : saemien-niejte Johkemehkeste) and the authors of South sami Gulahallan. A project at the Sámi school board earlier produced some lists os words that could be useful for us. David will ask the board to allow us to use the lists.

Maja: we have received the contract from Pia Persson, will send contracts to the… Gerd Persson about the book Gåessie dah jeatjebh åerieminie. Jovsset informed a bit about his contacts with Gerd Persson.

We have got Saemesth ammma! - but only book 1 is in our corpus repository. David will add the rest of the books to the corpus repository, as well as the excercise books.

Jovsset: contacted the author, Christer Olofsson, of the book gåessie dah jeatjebh åerieminie, he would let us use the book

TODO:

continue gathering sma corpus texts (David, Jovsset, Maja)
- older sámi radio texts would be very welcome as well (David)
- Maja: NRK Nord-Trøndelag has a lot of recordings in sma, possibly also manuscripts - we should call them. We should wait, because I think they haven´t any manuscripts. We should talk to the south-sámi journalisth in NRK Sámeradio about manuskripts. We have allready Anna Jacobsen manuscripts, perhaps Anna Granefjell do have some? Sig-Britt Pärsson? Ristin Pärsson? Kjell Roger Appfjell? (Maja)

Future plans, directions and ideas

See a separate document in plan/strat/5year.jspwiki.

Northern areas project

TODO:

Attend a beginners’ course in Russian (priority: the alphabet!) near you..
Keep potential key personel alert
To a certain extent plan for The Thing

Infrastructure

Børre tested the gtsetup script, it doesn’t work on Linux.

To accomodate future enhancements in different directions (in rough order of importance):

test bench for all parts of our language technology efforts
1. test bench enhanced, but not yet complet
set up the Leopard Server features for collaborative support:
1. permanent chat rooms
2. stored (and indexed) chat transcripts of the chat rooms
3. iCal server / group calendars
4. wiki
wiki? on G5 (is part of Leopard Server) or other web-based documentation
improve Forrest stability and i18n support ( the divvun crashes)
1. Sjur has been working on better i18n and pdf rendering
2. Børre has some ideas for getting back to serving static html files
reorganise the documentation:
1. differ between target groups
2. get better grouping
3. decide what to write in forrest and what in wiki (cf. Apertium and [http://xixona.dlsi.ua.es/apertium/]) for a similar split)
4. update/add missing parts
migrate lexc lexicons to XML, splitting the task
1. Name lexica (the Name project)
2. Dictionaries (already in XML, task is to integrate them)
3. At least migrate the lexc open POSes (Komi as a pilot case)
change the look of the documentation web
use HFST as alternative to XFST
corpus content moved to Max Planck repositories? Norsk språkbank?
update infrastructure to allow content-restricted spellers for special target groups

TODO:

restructure the local setup using environmental variables and a script for automated setup (Sjur)
- ready for early testing (Ciprian, Børre)
restructure and clean the script catalogue, using subdirs to categorise the scripts (Ciprian)
infrastructure remake: (Børre, Ciprian, Saara, Sjur, Tomi, Trond)
- more modularised make / build infra (prepare for smn, sms, sjd, others)
- merge gt, kt and st into one
- modularised preprocess and spellrelax
- alternatives to make:
  - SCons
  - makepp
  - Maven (for java-projects)
  - CMake
make a test-all target that runs all tests we have (Ciprian, Sjur, Trond)
- delayed until we have restructured the make/build process
define and document testing routines (Ciprian, Sjur, Trond)
- delayed until we have restructured the make/build process
test iCal Server (on G5) (Børre)
remove TOC from the giellatekno home page by using dispatcher (Trond)

Linguistics

We need a more fine-grained system for denoting morphological boundaries. Here’s what Sjur suggests:

word boundary: ## (# makes .#. unusable in twolc)
inflection: <, >
compound-like inflection: <#, #> (cf -gujmie) (lexc %<#, #%>)
derivation: «, »
compound-like derivation: «#, #» (cf -aktig, -skap in nob, swe, etc)
clitica: ‹, › - muorak and muorage but only muorasge and not muorask
opaque compounds (bringebær): *#, #* - * on the side of the opaque part

The multichar sequences should be defined as Multichar_Symbols.

It might be possible to distinguish, but do we need them?

the suffix -goahti- behaves:

morphologically like a compound
semantically like a closed-class word (begin, often, still, …)
what is bringe#bær? A compound?

Motivation for the new border symbols:

compound-like inflection and derivation should be hyphenated as compounds, although regular inflection and hyphenation usually is completely opaque wrt hyphenation.
we don’t want to use the regular word boundary symbol for this purpose, since that can conflict with other use cases (like IR & indexing, where you want to index both the actual word form, the stem, and possibly substems as long as the stemming is transparent)
on the contrary, a richer set of border symbols can be used to enhance e.g. IR
- by coding bringeber as bringe*#ber we know that the compound is opaque and should not be split, but at the same time we know that the last part is the recognisable word ber, which can be useful for text classification and building semantic relationships - we can automatically deduce that bringebær is a bær.
the regular affix boundaries have turned out to be useful in the making of Hunspell speller files (although the distiction between inflection and derivation was in the end not useful). The borders also make it easier to bind certain two-level rules to the correct contexts.

The guiding principle behind the symbols is that they provide more information in the transducer, and it is easy to discard the information later. The opposite is not true. Also, there is relatively little work involved in adding the symbols.

North Sámi

(nothing new, see proofing bugs below)

Lule Sámi

(nothing new, see proofing bugs below)

South Sámi

Adj->verb derivations is the next topic. Verb -> adj -derivations (some) already written in, tentatively. This topic probably needs more consideration than A -> V.

TODO:

reformulate the proper noun grammar according to the Trondheim discussions (David, Maja, Sjur, Thomas, Trond)
update the normativity issues document for the SGL/SGM (David with Maja, Sjur)
- placenames (Maja)
- other issues
finish the umlaut / derivation work (Thomas, Sjur, Tomi)
adjectives (Maja with David, Thomas, Trond, Sjur)
- two competing naming conventions of continuation lexicons
  - One naming goes ATTRSUFF-PREDSUFF-STEMTYPE
  - One follows the sme convention of naming key adjectives
  - There are duplicate lexica
- The comparative issue open here and there
  - The ATTRSUFF-PREDSUFF-STEMTYPE lexica now go to EVENCOMP and ODDCOMP only.
normativity meeting (David, Jovsset, Maja, Thomas)

Name lexicon/risten.no infrastructure

Tomi has played with couchdb as a replacement for eXist in risten.no and general dictionary-related work. Seems much lighter and easier to work with.

Instead of building our own webforms and back-end update scripts, use XForms with a premade connection to our xml db. Orbeon XForms is such a tool (open source).

From the meeting with the terminology and IT teams last week:

no major rework on the present search interface now
no work on the editing section; instead:
add existing lists of sanctioned terminology as separate term entities
add a dictionary if we can make one with sufficient quality

This means the following tasks:

find already approved lists, in paper or electronic form (term team)
convert paper lists to electronic lists (term team)
convert lists to standard XML (Sjur, Tomi)
add prepared lists to risten.no (Sjur, Tomi)

TODO:

send eXist log files to Ciprian (Sjur)
fix i18n bug in risten.no/G5 (so they will work without the proper locale request) (Sjur)
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 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, 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)

Dictionaries

Nothing new, working hard on Kildin Sámi.

TODO:

Set up the apache server for the risten.no beta on the linux box + Xserve. (Børre)
set up risten.no on eXist/XServe (as a beta version site) (Sjur)
set up required infra for smenob on risten.no/XServe (Sjur)
Continue the dictionary infrastructure discussion (Ciprian, Sjur, Trond)
end user documentation (how to download and install) (Ciprian, Trond)
Contact Davvi Girji about cooperation on electronic dictionaries (Sjur)

Proofing tools

HFST-based proofing tools

TODO:

send feedback to the HFST team about our mac experience (Sjur)
- done
continue to write an API specification, and an implementation specification (Sjur)

Hunspell

Børre has released beta7, with working clitics, negation verb and copula.

Testing

Spelling Error Markup

TODO:

Set up ways of adding meta-information (source info, used in testing or not, added to lexicon or not) (Saara)
test new and nested error markup (Sjur)
- nesting still needs to be tested, depends on new ccat feature

Speller testing

TODO:

test the error type selection feature in ccat (Sjur)
package and deliver sma proofing tools (Sjur, Tomi)
add South Sámi DLL’s to the svn repository (Sjur)

Testing open-source Norwegian spellers

Sjur has invited the open-source group to test their spell-checker using our test bench. The response has been positive, we’ll see what happens.

We should go to their developer meetings, and present our work and how to work with language technology.
