Infrastructure
Updated corpus online
See Ciprian´s document about the corpus content in
$GTPRIV/plan/corpus/oslo_corpus_update_todo.txt.
Issues:
- filenames
- organisation of subdirs?
- content (or lack thereof) of original and converted files
- svn repo reorganisation
facta$convert2xml.pl --nolog --corpdir=/usr/local/share/corp L1allOrt.correct.txt
Error message:
sh: /home/sjur/gtmain/gt/script/text_cat: No such file or directory
L1allOrt.correct.txt: ERROR errors in /home/sjur/gtmain/gt/script/text_cat -q -x -d /home/sjur/gtmain/gt/script/LM "/usr/local/share/corp/tmp/L1allOrt.correct.txt.tmp0":
text_cat isn’t part of our repository, we need to add it - we are using a
modified version of the original file. It should be added with a short README
and some license info, pointing to the original.
TODO:
- make the conversion scripts work with the new svn repository
(Børre, Ciprian)
- add check for almost empty content
- add processing of svg files
- reorganise subdirs as needed (Ciprian, Trond)
- identify parallel nob files - should be automatic, but needs to be checked
(Ciprian)
- sentence-align sme with nob (Ciprian)
- the aligner wasn’t working, Børre has tried to fix it
- analyse/disambiguate (Ciprian)
- preferably also dep -> check with Oslo if it can be used (Ciprian)
- install in Oslo (Ciprian, Trond)
- add better handling of unknown strings in our analysers (???)
Corpus infra remake
TODO:
- read access for the rest of our teams + outsiders who have signed the corpus
usage agreement - presently only bound group has read access (Børre)
- convert or move the files in the
upload dir to the real corpus repo
(Børre)
- turn on corpus summary crontab (Børre)
License
TODO:
- install & configure the Unison news reader (Sjur)
- read and comment the license discussion (all)
- formulate license header (Børre, Sjur)
- add license header to all files (Børre, Ciprian, everybody)
Corpus interface
This depends on the infrastructure cleanup.
TODO:
- make a simple web search form for the UiT corpus repository (Ciprian, X)
- check out the new version of CWB with Unicode support (Ciprian)
Makefile + tag simplification
Problems with the proofing tools compilation, now solved.
TODO:
- test latest proofing tools, compare results with previous version (Tomi)
- write new build commands (Sjur, Tomi)
- make new targets in parallell to the old ones, not by remaking them
- use a prefix or suffix to make the new targets easily identifyable during
the rewrite phase. We’ll remove the prefix/suffix as soon as everything is
working fine.
- when the new build infrastructure works as it should, delete the old ones
(Sjur, Tomi)
General list
Meänkieli adaptions in our infrastructure.
Requirements:
- separate Subversion repository
- structured roughly as our main repository
- limited access to the closed repo, in the sense that one language group
should not be able to see the work of another language group (exception for
administrators) - otherwise it isn’t really secret/closed. That is, the FIT
gang should only see FIT files, and a hypothetical e.g. Estonian gang should
only see the Estonian files, not the FIT files, etc. But to the extent that
there are (links to) shared resources the (e.g. links to infrastructure
things in another place), they should be visible to all groups
- all tools, dtd’s, configs work as in and from the main Subversion, such that
we don’t end up with multiple copies. That is, only content files and no
infrastructure files should be in the closed repo - all the rest should stay
in the main repo
- we should have scripts that move a full language dir from one repo to the
other, in both directions, keeping svn history etc.
- the amount of work for setting this up should be minimal, or we have to ask
them for money
Tentative task list
- figure out the svn dir structure in the closed lang repo, set it up
- figure out how to make the infrastructure in the open/main repo available for
work in the closed repo (we want to have only one dtd, one XXE config, one
makefile, etc.)
- when we have an idea of the amount of work, decide whether we just do it, or
whether we bill them
- implement the previous point
- transfer the language files, preferably using a script for automatic transfer
and deletion in the open repo
- inform them about the changes
To accommodate future enhancements in different directions (in rough order of
importance):
- test bench for all parts of our language technology efforts
- test bench enhanced, but not yet complete
- improve Forrest i18n support with static sites
- reorganise the documentation:
- differ between target groups
- get better grouping
- decide what to write in Forrest and what in wiki
(cf. Apertium and
[http://xixona.dlsi.ua.es/apertium/]) for a similar split)
- update/add missing parts
- migrate lexc lexicons to XML, splitting the task
- Name lexica (the Name project)
- Dictionaries (already in XML, task is to integrate them)
- At least migrate the lexc open POSes (Komi as a pilot case)
- change the look of the documentation web
- corpus content moved to Max Planck repositories? Norsk språkbank?
- update infrastructure to allow content-restricted spellers for special target
groups
TODO:
- make restricted access to our svn repository work (
fit adaption)
(Børre, Ciprian)
- make the new SL Server services functional: (Børre)
- set up corpus mirroring on the XServe again (Børre)
- finish the restructuring and cleaning of the
script/ directory
Ciprian)
- infrastructure remake: (Børre, Ciprian, Sjur, Tomi, Trond)
- more modularised make / build infra (prepare for smn, sms, sjd, others)
- look at omorfi for ideas of how to modularise
- merge gt, kt and st into one
- modularised preprocess and spellrelax
- alternatives to make:
- 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
North Sámi
(nothing new, see proofing bugs below)
Lule Sámi
(nothing new, see proofing bugs below)
South Sámi
TODO:
- Prepare texts about normativity issue to SGL/SGM (Maja)
- look at Trond’s XXX comments (Maja)
- read through and comment by Wednesday afternoon (Sjur)
- 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.
- finish compound tags for adjectives (Maja)
Name lexicon/risten.no infrastructure
TODO:
- 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)
- 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
Released:
- FKV dictionary release: we need a web page (see task list below).
- SME:NOB update release
Other things dictionary-related:

- content and webpage update (Trond, Verena)
- re-release the MacDict and StarDict versions with bugfix and version info
(Ciprian)
- kom:fin-eng
- moved the original kom-lex.xml to the inc-dir and froze it
- split it by pos into the working_file dir, the ONLY place to work with
the dictionary entries
- now, the lexC files are generated via XSLT sheets, no perl scripts
- adjusted the Makefile
- prepared the pipeline for compiling the mac dict
- todo: make a pipeline for StarDict also (as far as I know, Jaska has)
a Linux machine
- 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)
- Completing the automaton to some state (Trond, Jaska, Paula)

sorted
South Sámi
Beta release: June 1. We should be getting the Polderland (now Knowledge
Concepts - hereafter KC) binaries in the second half of May.
We need to test our sma speller using our command line tools. Using the
regular sma speller lexicon with the sme command line speller won’t
work, but if we compile the lexicon using the sme compiler, it should work.
This is a temporary work-around till we get the proper tools from KC.
TODO:
- compile a
sma speller lexicon using the sme compiler (Tomi)
- run the regular set of speller tests on
sma using this special lexicon
(Tomi)
- finish the error markup of at least one gold staqndard
sma document
(Maja)
- test the
sma speller on the gold standard document (Sjur)
- difftest for fst and PL speller (Sjur)
- External beta testers:
- David
- Jovsset
- the Røros group
- gold standard testing (Sjur)
TODO:
- Change the license tag to GPL for voikko inclusion. (see above)
- run tests using Hunspell, Voikko, Polderland for our Sámi lexicons
(Sjur, Tomi)
- check out the voikko code, see [this page
| https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/voikko/wiki/libvoikko/IntegrationTesting]
(Tomi)
- try to compile it (development is done on Linux, no MacOS X testing so far)
(Tomi)
- add voikko support to our proofing test bench (Sjur)
- add all our Sámi analysers and test them as spellers (Tomi, Sjur)
Testing
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.
