Indonesian and Malaysian/Work plan

Work plan

This is a draft workplan for development of the Indonesian and Malaysian translator.

• Trimmed coverage means the coverage of both of the morphological analysers after being trimmed according to the bilingual dictionary of the pair, that is, only containing stems which are also in the bilingual dictionary.
• Testvoc for a category means that the category is testvoc clean, in both translation directions.
• Evaluation is taking $n$ words and performing an evaluation for post-edition word error rate (WER). The output for those $n$ words should be clean.

Ideas for getting Indonesian-Malaysian bilingual dictionaries

1. Filtering the Indonesian lemma list.
   • Get a large number of Indonesian lemmata from kateglo.
   • For each lemma, check whether they are also valid Malaysian words at PRPM.
2. Interlanguage wiki links. Tutorial is here.
3. Extracting bilingual dictionaries from parallel corpus. Tutorial is here.
   • Open Parallel Corpus (needs to be preprocessed first)

Todo list

1. Convert the Malaysian dictionary to Apertium format
2. Create a script to get Indonesian word list
3. Adding missing words from the story
4. Adding conjunctives and interjections
