Workplan

Week	Dates	Goals	Progress/Notes	Evaluation
1	5/30 - 6/4	some data, find test corpus
2	6/5 - 6/11	script to bootstrap separable multiwords from dictionaries, set up testing framework, support/preparing data for English separable verbs
3	6/12 - 6/18	preparing data, prototype script set up, read specifications of Lttoolbox API
4	6/19 - 6/25	6/19: separate out the language-dependent functions in the c++ prototype, work on reordering module for Romance languages (Spanish, Portuguese) 6/20: work on reordering module for Germanic language (Swedish) 6/21: work on reordering module for Celtic language (welsh) 6/22: work on reordering module for 6/23: work on reordering module for & prototype should be finished	6/19: Still trying to get FST example to compile on my computer. Worked on the reordering module for English in c++ 6/20: Spent a lot of time trying to fix hashing errors with the c++ prototype, and then gave up with c++. Switched everything to python because I've been spending too much time working out c++ API. Wrote documentation. Still trying to get unittest++ and the fst example to compile. 6/21: Separated the prototype (now scripted in python) into organized files. 6/23: video meeting. 6/24: migrated to source forge. added testing set.
First evaluation	6/26 - 6/30	testing framework set up + prototype system in Python
5	6/26 - 7/2	hard-coded finite-state acceptor for 'take out'	6/26: trying to make the program backtrack when it gets to <ANY_CHAR> or <ANY_TAG> 6/27: debugging & supporting any number of tags 6/28: successfully reads and prints ^take<vblex><pres><tag1><tag2><tag3><tag4>$ ^the<det><tag1><tag2><tag3><tag4>$ ^thing<n><sg><tag><Tag>$ ^out<adv>$ 6/29: working on being selective about what middle words are accepted 7/1: python prototype for acceptor is pretty much working, just needs to be able to read from corpuses that don't put every sentence on a new line, and to assign numbers to states in a more elegant fashion.
6	7/3 - 7/9	hard-coded finite-state transducer for 'take out'	7/3: tried to convert the python script to c++ code. trying to use lttoolbox's FST class. 7/4: still trying to convert to c++ and use lttoolbox 7/5: 7/6: 7/7: 7/8: 7/9:
7	7/10 - 7/16	xml format, working compiler and processor
8	7/17 - 7/23	improving dictionary, compiler, and processor
Second evaluation	7/24 - 7/28	finite-state implementation
9	7/24 - 7/30	integration with Apertium: fit module between pre-transfer and lt-proc-b
10	7/31 - 8/6	superblanks, integration, fstp	7/31: worked on superblanks, used fstp object 8/1: improvements 8/2: insert superblanks between the # in e.g. 'take# out' and between words in counterexamples by amending 'in' and 'out' strings, fixed error where ^ was not printing at the end of reordering a sep. multiword, updated dictionary to improve success rate
11	8/7 - 8/13	(cont. support for individual language pairs)
12	8/14 - 8/20	(cont. support for individual language pairs)
13	8/21 - 8/27	(cont. support for individual language pairs)
Final evaluation	8/29 - 9/5	finite-state implementation in C++ with lttoolbox
