Plan, questions, stuff
Short term plan / Pendings
| Pending | Notes |
|---|---|
| Write a DCG for the apertium stream format. | |
| Research UTF and Prolog. | |
| Write a simple PoS disambiguator that keeps only the first reading. | A random disambiguator would also be useful. |
| Set up a repository for the project. | |
| Check licensing of MIL code. | No answer by email. :-( |
| Design internal representation of the input data. | |
| Design rules. | |
| Implement basic predicates. | |
| Learn rules using MIL. | |
| Write a python script that aligns and tests two outputs (handtagged vs disambiguated). |

- Read ILP paper from Francis.
- Got MIL code, did a few tests.
- Tracked down and downloaded test data from Apertium project for the tagger.
- Read about tagging, CG and rules.
- Wrote a Prolog script that reads all the lines from a file.

- Started to read CG docs in order to make the design of the data structures.
- Did a bit of research on Prolog DCG.
- Wrote stream tokenizer in Prolog.
- Wrote token splitter in Prolog.

- Implemented and tested output writer.
- Implemented a trivial disambiguator that always selects the first reading. The number of mismatches from the hand tagged version lowered from 107 to 45 (this was kind of a test to ensure the two are actually aligned and match a bit better).
- Designed the internal structure of the data. We will keep the initial split tokens in lists and remove tags from these lists. Each one of the lists will have a metadata slot allocated somewhere (probably in a metadata list). I should research hashtables, trees, or whatever fast lookup data structure Prolog might have.
