New page

I'm happy to be contributing to Apertium this summer by mentoring Sean Burke's work on Irish to Scottish Gaelic machine translation. For about ten years I have been working on developing language technology for under-resourced languages around the world. I've developed corpora and spell checkers for many (20+) languages using a [http://borel.slu.edu/crubadan/ web crawler], statistical methods, and contributions from native speakers. I am primarily interested in the Celtic languages, and particularly Irish. I've created a [http://borel.slu.edu/gramadoir/ grammar checker], monolingual and parallel corpora, and a [http://borel.slu.edu/lsg/ semantic network] for Irish, and do a lot of the localization of open source software (Firefox, OpenOffice.org, KDE, ...) Currently I am working on a statistical MT engine that I hope might be useful for Apertium down the road, if I ever manage to finish it!

-I provided a lot of the data currently in Apertium for [[Irish to Scottish Gaelic]] machine translation, which was taken from an ad hoc system for this language pair that I created in 2005.  I'd be interested in mentoring a GSOC student (or anyone else) to help finish this work.  I'm also working on Irish to Manx Gaelic with help from Phil Kelly.

Since then, I've developed a more mature [http://github.com/kscanne/caighdean MT system] that translates Scottish and Manx Gaelic into Irish, using statistics on the target side.  I'd be happy to mentor a GSOC student (or anyone else) interested in porting that work over to Apertium.
