Primary goals

• A production-ready release of kaz-kir
  • Translates kaz→kir and kir→kaz with consistently <10% WER
  • Trimmed coverage for kaz and kir ≥90%
• A production-ready release of tur-kir
  • Translates tur→kir and kir→tur with consistently <20% WER
  • Trimmed coverage for tur and kir ≥85%
• A stable release of uzb-tur
  • Translates tur→uzb and uzb→tur with consistently <25% WER
  • Trimmed coverage for tur and uzb ≥80%
• While bidix size is not built into the goals, the trimmed coverage numbers can be seen as a more relevant proxy for the same basic idea.

Getting started

• make scripts for:
  • getting raw numbers for Progress
  • doing regression tests (/learn how to use existing scripts)
  • guesser
• get updated corpora for:
  • Uzbek
  • Turkish

Recurring

• The end of every week:
  • Update Progress
• Constantly:
  • Add good sentences to regression tests
  • Clean up lexc files
    • remove duplicate entries
    • alphabetise sections?
    • add glosses, etc.
