Speeding up monodix creation

This page outlines some ideas for increasing the speed at which monolingual dictionaries (analysers) can be created.

Tag transfer

Try this at some point:

<spectie> you have an aligned corpus
<spectie> polish--czech, czech--slovak, danish--swedish
<spectie> and you have an analyser for polish, czech or danish
<spectie> you want to make an analyser for swedish
<spectie> you make templates from the paradigms in the danish analyser
<spectie> tag the danish of the corpus
<spectie> that you have
<spectie> align it with the swedish side
<spectie> then read off the alignments, taking the surface forms from the right side and the tags from the left side

another variation of this without parallel corpora might be to use extract and then use a bilingual dictionary (or 
even just wordlist) and comparable corpus to disambiguate the possibilities.

-- e.g. you have a surface form in language X which can be either Noun or Verb. 
        You look up the surface form in language X in a dictionary X--Y ( you have an analyser + tagger for Y)
        You disambiguate the right analysis for X based on the analysis in Y.

        -- you could extend this to >1 languages, e.g. you want to build a Danish analyser and you have English--Danish,Swedish--Danish
           wordlists and analysers for Swedish,English. You can check both.
