Infrastructure

SSH at UiT

the divvun.no server has been closed for SSH access by the UiT IT admin
we have not been informed about this
this is effectively stopping all access from the outside world
VCN/Remote Desktop access is still allowed
the reason is that one Mac has been compromised by a hacker

HFST issues

HFST in apertium, to avoid conversion to the apertium automata thing

$ echo "ja+CC" | ./hfst-lookup smj-gen.hfst

Yes, this was a bug, but it is fixed. Make sure everything is the latest version, including the transducer (recompile if needed).

HFST installation issues:

Trond
Thomas via Børre

To check out from svn:

svn co https://hfst.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/hfst/trunk hfstsvn

Remove all old Fink (/sw/) and MacPorts (/opt/) installations, then compile under Snow Leopard.

General list

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
1. this is now a real option (HFST2 is released), reqiures Makefile enhancements
corpus content moved to Max Planck repositories? Norsk språkbank?
update infrastructure to allow content-restricted spellers for special target groups

TODO:

install the HFST tools (Børre, Tomi)
- done
- usage: make hfst TARGET=xxx, or use hwfst if you want a weighted one
- fao: make hfst
upgrade the XServe to Snow Leopard Server (Børre)
ask Lene, Linda to install Mikogo (Trond)
restructure and clean the script catalogue, using subdirs to categorise the scripts (Ciprian)
- see posting in the news group
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

Linguistics

Giellatekno usage evaluation

Trond is presenting. Inspiring data:)

Comments:

word form generation isn’t possible to use unless you know the tags used as input
no colours for syntax analysis
we should redirect users who want MT or English analyses to appropriate sites

North Sámi

(nothing new, see proofing bugs below)

Lule Sámi

(nothing new, see proofing bugs below)

South Sámi

TODO:

Prepare text´s about normativity issue to SGL/SGM (Maja, Thomas)
- meeting Tuesday 9:30 (Maja, Sjur, Thomas)
  - done, a bit delayed
adjectives (Maja with 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.
work meeting on loan words and proper nouns, this week - tomorrow? (Maja, Ove (?), Sjur, Thomas, Trond)

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

The lexicography workshop was a great success. We should sum it all up, and improve what can be improved. Also, computer illiteracy is a problem.

TODO:

meeting to sum up experiences after the lexicography seminar, Tuesday (Børre, Ciprian, Lene, Sjur, Trond)
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)
developing the mobile phone version of smenob:
- http://pfed.info/wksite/
Komi
- take out the doublets to a separate file (Ciprian)
- merge the doublets (Jaska, Trond)
- start looking at the komfin and komeng MacDicts (Ciprian)
- Completing the automaton to some state (Trond, Jaska, Paula)

Proofing tools

South Sámi second alpha

Maja:

looks good:)
some words are written correct, but the speller rejects them

Trond:

a frequent bug was nubpie because of a wrong tag
speller - analyser diff

Thomas:

the phonetic rules seem to work now

Tomi:

baseform test is checking whether the baseforms are recognised by the speller

TODO:

Go through the phonrules file (Thomas)
Pick a text for proofreading (Thomas)
Proofread a text with tre eror$error notation (Maja)
difftest for fst and PL speller (Sjur)
Compile a new version by Friday (Tomi)
- cd $GTHOME/prooftools/; sudo make mac-dmg
Look for external beta testers?
- David and Jovsset will get the speller, for other people we must wait.
fix the installer build issues (Sjur)
correct easter egg to say “South Sámi”, not “North Sámi” (Sjur)
fix sma installer bugs (Sjur)

HFST-based proofing tools

Voikko will be our near future proofing solution, using HFST as the language technology core.

Please join the libvoikko mailing list.

One article linked:

[http://voikko.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/voikko/trunk/libvoikko/doc/morphological-analysis.txt]

TODO:

continue to write an API specification, and an implementation specification (Sjur)

Testing

Spelling Error Markup

TODO:

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)

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.

Speller bugs
