Project Information

Why is it that you are interested in Apertium?

Which of the published tasks are you interested in? What do you plan to do?

Include a proposal, including

   * a title,
   * reasons why Google and Apertium should sponsor it,
   * a description of how and who it will benefit in society,
   * and a detailed work plan (including, if possible, a schedule with milestones and deliverables).

Work Plan

Community Bonding	Communicate with the maintainers and get to know Apertium better. Solve some issues on Github.
Week 1 (27 May - 3 June)	Implement a baseline model for weigthing automata.
Week 2 (4 June - 10 June)	Develop the first supervised model (Unigram counts). Write a shell script for generating weights using a tagged corpus.
Week 3 (11 June - 17 June)	Read, Understand and plan for implementing the publication for the first unsupervised model.
Week 4 (18 June - 24 June)	Finalise the first unsupervised model and compare it to the supervised one.
Evaluation 1 Deliverables: Two shell scripts for generating weights using both supervised and unsupervised techniques.
Week 5 (29 June - 5 July)	Read, Understand and plan for implementing the publication for the second unsupervised model.
Week 6 (6 July - 12 July)	Implement the second unsupervised model.
Week 7 (13 July - 22 July)	Read, Understand and plan for implementing the publication for the second unsupervised model.
Week 8 (23 July - 12 July)	Implement the second unsupervised model.
Evaluation 2 Deliverables: A shell script for using the second unsupervised model and a plan for implementing the third one.
Week 9 (27 July - 2 August)	Implement the third unsupervised model.
Week 10 (3 August - 9 August)	Solve issues related to the developed models.
Week 11-12 (10 August - 26 August)	Write the required documentation and merge the code into Apertium's repositories.
