Future plans, directions and ideas

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

Infrastructure

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

  1. test bench for all parts of our language technology efforts
    1. test bench enhanced, but not yet complete
  2. close certain parts of the svn code repository
    1. on the todo list
  3. more modularised make / build infra (prepare for smn, sms, sjd, others)
  4. merge gt, kt and st into one
  5. 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
  6. wiki? on G5 (is part of Leopard Server) or other web-based documentation
  7. 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
  8. 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 (http://www.apertium.org/ and http://xixona.dlsi.ua.es/apertium/) for a similar split)
    4. update/add missing parts
  9. 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)
  10. change the look of the documentation web
  11. sfst? Both as replacement for xfst and for hunspell/open-source proofing tools
  12. investigate the NSIS installer, potentially replacing the InstallShield package from Polderland
  13. corpus content moved to Max Planck repositories?
  14. update infrastructure to allow content-restricted spellers for special target groups

SVN issues:

  • http access not yet available (https only at the moment, but it works as anonymous checkout if the user is not specified)
  • read access to the whole repo is working, BUT:
    • gt/*/polderland should be protected
    • plan should be protected
  • everything will be google-able by default if the repo URL is posted
  • certain users need to be on the UiT VPN to be able to commit (bug #705)
  • UTF-8 problem in svn commit mails: the commit log text is garbled

TODO:

  • make a test-all target that runs all tests we have ( Ciprian, Sjur, Trond )
  • define and document testing routines ( Ciprian, Sjur, Trond )
  • re-setup Jabber accounts in iChat ( all, Børre )
    • done for all
  • follow-up migration to svn:
    • close the open SVN repository at requested paths ( Ciprian )
    • prepare and discuss with external users: Jack Ruether ( Trond )
  • setup iCal Server (on XServe) ( Børre )
    • working on it
  • repair the G5 ( Børre )
    • received one e-mail asking for whether it is ok to format the disk
  • install Saxon for XSLT2 and XQuery 1 support ( all )
    • done!

Linguistics

North Sámi

(nothing new, see proofing bugs below)

http://giellatekno.uit.no/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=711

Lule Sámi

(nothing new, see proofing bugs below)

TODO:

  • sme->smj lexicon conversion to build bilingual lexicon resources, and increase smj coverage ( Trond ).
  • Add the words when all words are ready.

South Sámi

Suggestions from Trond:

  • type the verbs in manually
  • ask Maja for the adjectives

TODO:

  • get the Verbh manuscript in electronic form ( Jovsset )
  • get David properly set up ( Sjur )
    • done
  • get an overview over all problematic areas of the orthography ( David )
  • type the verbs in manually (to be written into verb-lex-sma.txt: the odd-syllabic only, now at dïjmedidh on p. 113). The verbs to be added are the ones with p. 76
    • 113-130 ( David )
    • 131-145 ( Jovsset )
    • 146-160 ( Linda , Sjur as backup)
    • 161-175 ( Thomas )
    • 176-190 ( Tomi )
    • 191-205 ( Trond )
  • ask Maja for the adjectives ( Trond )
  • reformulate the noun grammar like the verbs ( Sjur, Trond )

Name lexicon/risten.no infrastructure

TODO:

  1. fix i18n bug in risten.no/G5 (so they will work without the proper locale request) ( Sjur )
  2. fix bugs in lexc2xml; add comments to the log element ( Saara )
  3. finish first version of the editing ( Sjur )
  4. test editing of the xml files. If ok, then: ( Sjur, Thomas, Trond )
  5. 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 )
  6. convert propernoun-($lang)-lex.txt to a derived file from common xml files ( Sjur, Tomi, Saara )
  7. implement data synchronisation between risten.noand 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)
  8. start to use the xml file as source file
  9. clean terms-sme.xml such that all names have the correct tag for their use (e.g. @type=secondary) ( Thomas, linguists )
  10. merge placenames which are errouneously in different entries: e.g. Helsinki, Helsingfors, Helsset ( linguists )
  11. publish the name lexicon on risten.no ( Sjur )
  12. add missing parallel names for placenames ( linguists )
  13. add informative links between first names like Niillas and Nils ( linguists )

Info on the conference site.

Title submitted is: Goallosteapmi ja suorggideapmi Divvun-reaidduin

Registration: http://www.viaregi.no/registration/deltagerweb.aspx?kid=3440&aid=8700

Registration deadline is September 10.

TODO:

  • write presentation ( Thomas, Tomi )
    • transferred to Tomi, since Thomas isn't able to go there

Presentation at North Sámi SGL, Rica Hotell Tromsø

Thomas and Tomi are going to present our tools there.

TODO:

  • ask Leif-Åge to burn some Divvun CD's, and send them with Maaren ( Thomas )

Text to speech

We are planning a North Sámi text to speech. Work on the text-to-transcription (ttt) component has begun, and for the transcription-to-sound we cooperate with U Hki. For a forthcoming october demo we have two alternative tracks:

  1. Do the ttt with quasi-Finnish orthography as output, and plug it onto the Finnish ttt (the Sámi-as-a-Finnish-priest solution) (pro: the web demo is there, so the demo is within reach; con: several phonemes are missing)
  2. Do the ttt with SAMPA as output, and read in 200 sentences, and have Hki generate a voice based upon that (pro: probably better result, head start on the project; con: we risk that is not be done by
  3. Do both in parallel. (pro: safety first, not much double work; con: well, the double work in the phon-sme.xfst file)

The best thing would probably be to do both tracks, to be on the safe side.
