Why I am interested in Apertium?

I am a linguist and I am interested in computational linguistics and natural language processing.

Which of the published tasks am I interested in? What do I plan to do?

I'm interested in adopting an unreleased language pair(Esperanto-Russian).

Reasons why Google and Apertium should sponsor it?

There aren’t esperanto-russian translator in Apertium.

Work Plan

Coding challenge

  • I’ve installed the prerequisites for Mac OS.
  • Bootstrapped the new language pair (epo-rus) with existing rus monodix.
  • Created an (incomplete) epo monodix with morphology based on this online dictionary (https://www.esperanto.mv.ru/Vortaro/), containing 30 654 words. Note: I was using a python script while adding morphological markup, so some of the words may be marked incorrectly, for example, the pronoun mi (I) is ending with -i, like verbs, and so was marked as a verb.
  • Created an Esperanto-Russian .dix file based on this (https://github.com/apertium/apertium-eo-ru/blob/master/apertium-ru-eo.ru-eo.dix) Russian-Esperanto .dix file, containing 30 654 words.

Week Plan

  • Week 1. Continue working on monodix, cleaning data, removing incorrect morphological markup.
  • Week 2. Continue working on monodix, cleaning data, removing incorrect morphological markup.
  • Week 3. Implementation of transfer rules from Esperanto to Russian.
  • Week 4. Implementation of transfer rules from Esperanto to Russian, evaluation.
  • Week 5. Implementation of transfer rules from Esperanto to Russian.
  • Week 6. Implementation of transfer rules from Esperanto to Russian.
  • Week 7. Constraint grammar design.
