DONE (+Notes & Comments)

  • Made a script to calculate WER for each line of the kaz-uzb.txt file to see what sentences are causing the most problems.
  • Translating big Kaz text into Uzb
    • Aside from those small texts obtained from parallel corpora
    • For better WER/PER calculation
    • For checking transfer rules
    • Started with readily available small JaM Story
      • Azmat and Oygul story in our case
      • Added 47 sentences from that.
    • Chose Nur-Sultan(capital city) article of Kazakh Wiki for that.
      • Split the article into sentences, translated into uzb manually.
      • Added 112 sentences out of Nur-Sultan text.
    • Used QED parallel corpus form internet.
      • Manually selected sentences and corrected their translations.
      • Added 90 sentences from this.
    • Made 250 sentences in total, stopping this here.
  • Tried finding parallel corpora:
  • Lexical selection rules for kaz-uzb
    • Created a script to analyse bidix and find ambiguous stems.
    • Created a script that generates lexical selection rules from manually chosen stems
    • Rules added in kaz-uzb.lrx for 1565 words.
    • Rules added in uzb-kaz.lrx for 1295 words.
  • Apertium-dixtools: 
   apertium-dixtools fix apertium-kaz-uzb.kaz-uzb.dix apertium-kaz-uzb.kaz-uzb.dix.fixed
    • Sorting bidix(aligning too):
   apertium-dixtools sort -alignBidix -ignorecase apertium-kaz-uzb.uz-uzb.dix apertium-kaz-uzb.kaz-uzb.dix.sorted
  • Sorting+Deduplicating the bidix for future purposes:
    • Bidix count before deduplication: 11008
    • Fixing the bidix:
      • Removed 1501 entries in section main
    • Bidix count after deduplication: 9507
    • Sorted+Regrouped the dix.
  • Made a script to calculate DixCount, Coverage, WER/PER at once
  • Calculating WER/PER: 
   $ cat kaz-big.txt | apertium -d ../ kaz-uzb > kaz-uzb.txt
   $ cat uzb-big.txt | apertium -d ../ uzb-kaz > uzb-kaz.txt
   $ apertium-eval-translator -ref uzb-big.txt -test kaz-uzb.txt
   $ apertium-eval-translator -ref kaz-big.txt -test uzb-kaz.txt
    • Parallel text:
      • JaM Story:
      • “Azamat va Oygul” in our case;
      • kaz-uzb/texts/[kaz|uzb].txt
    • Astana article from Kazakh Wiki
