Apertium-kaz-tat/paper

We're submitting a paper on apertium-kaz-tat to MT Summit 2013. DEADLINE: APRIL 22.

TODO

Ideal benchmarks:

• document rules in the rlx with example sentences
• more like 100-150 (currently ~40) disambiguation rules in -kaz

Ilnar

• Development corpus (lots and lots of text)
  • Work on increasing coverage (via lexc) and trimmed coverage (via dix) to 90%
  • Work on making sure testvoc passes
  • add rules — disambigation (CG), lexical selection, and transfer.
• Test corpus (about 10 pages; don't base rules on this text!)
  • Make a gold standard translation/correct some tests for error-rate testing
• Paper
  • Add affiliation to paper
  • Help JNW come up with some more contrastive stuff (see below / FIXME: Ilnars in paper)
    • Tatar equivalent of барайын деп жатырмын "I'm planning on going" ?
    • What was it that you noticed with -ғалы/-гелі (and its correspondent in Tatar)?
  • Find some exemplary bidix entries for figure 2.
  • New example for table 3
    • maybe Kazakh equivalent of original sentence: "Ауа райы бүгін өте/әбден жақсы, жылы."
    • maybe "Ол енді ол дыбысты анығырақ ести бастады" (some good ambiguity). Unfortunately, current output is "Ул иңне ул тавышны аныграк ишетә башлады". Could we fix this?

Fran

• Delegate out error-rate testing tasks
• new version of Table 2

JNW

• Work on last few issues in -tat twol
• Write up background
• Contrastive analysis of Kazakh and Tatar
  • phonological differences (a generalised summary, 2 or 3 small specific examples)
  • orthographical differences (a generalised summary, 1 or 2 small specific examples)
  • lexical and morphological differences (2 or 3 specific examples)
  • morphotactic differences (2 or 3 specific examples)
  • syntactic differences (2 or 3 specific examples)
• Coverage stuff
  • divide corpora into 10 pieces and run coverage for each to get stddev
