Why is it I am interested in machine translation? Why is it that I am interested in Apertium?
The speed of information circulation does not allow to spend time on human translation. I am truly interested in formal methods and models because they represent the way any language is constructed (as I see it). Despite some exceptions, in general language is very logical and the main problem is how to find proper systematic description. Apertium is a powerful platform that allows to build impressive rule-based engines. I think rule-based translation very promising if we provide enough data and an effective analysis
Which of the published tasks am I interested in? What do I plan to do?
I want to work on Graph dictionaries
Proposal
Why Google and Apertium should sponsor it? How and who it will benefit in society?
I think there is a lot of math in language and graph representation of dictionaries is an exciting idea, because it adds some kind of cross-validation and internal system source of information. This information help to fill some lacunae that appear while creating a dictionary. This will improve a quality of translation as we manage to expand bidix.
