Community Bonding Period

• Find Swahili-Lingala resources
• Update Lingala lexc transducer to lexd
• New lexd transducer for Swahili
• Keep track of coverage for Lin and Swa transducers
• Get familiar with apertium-recursive
• Set up swa-lin pair using apertium-recursive
• Update GSOC progress page
• James and Marry story + Wikipedia article in Swahili and Lingala.

Goals

• By first evaluation: have story about kids or similar text to WER/PER of around 20% (work with all stages of translation, focus on "lowest-hanging fruit" relevant to the text)
• By second evaluation: increase [trimmed] coverage to around 90% (work focused on lexicons, adding from frequency lists)
• By final evaluation: work to get clean testvoc (work focused on transfer, making sure everything is dealt with one way or other)

Notes

• To count stems in lexc, try:

 grep -E ":\w+.*;" apertium-lin.lin.lexc | grep -v "[<>]" | wc -l

• To count stems in the bidix, try this:

 grep "<p" apertium-eng-lin.eng-lin.dix  | wc -l

• To get WER and PER use apertium-eval-translator-line

• Coverage above is on 2019-05-20 Wikipedia dump.
