Project description[edit]

The purpose of this project is to allow Apertium language-pair developers to better translate "seperable" or "discontiguous" multiwords. We do this by re-ordering word tokens before translation occurs. For example, "take something out" becomes "take out something" so that "take out" can be translated as a single unit.

To do this, a finite-state transducer was used. The transducer accepted certain patterns of words (paradigms), such as adj-noun or det-adj-noun, that could separate the multiword. If the pattern was accepted, then the transducer would output the re-ordered words for better translation quality.

Work done[edit]

  • all spacing, punctuation, and superblanks were preserved
  • (for language developers: have the language-data writer write it explicitly in the .lsx file)
