Ideas for Google Summer of Code/Integration and debugging tools for Grammatical Framework

The objective of this task is to create a suite of tools for Grammatical Framework to facilitate interoperability with Apertium and other tools.

Tools

• Morphological analyser
  • Input: Text stream, PGF grammar file
  • Output: Tokenised and morphologically analysed text
• Disambiguator
  • Input: Morphologically analysed text, PGF grammar file
  • Output: The analysed text without the analyses not found in the parse trees below a certain probability threshold (n-best). e.g. 1-best would have only the morphological analyses which are found in the 1-best parse tree.
• Lexicon expander
  • Input:
  • Output: Full form list with surface forms and lexical forms

Coding challenge

• Install Grammatical Framework
• Install Apertium
• Write a program using Haskell or C to retrieve the morphological analysis of a word from the PGF library and print it out in Apertium format.
