Projects
„Building Open Source Information Extraction System for Russian Language”
Organisation: National Research University „Higher School of Economics”
Project roles: project manager, software developer (Python)
Description: Creating a hybrid information extraction system using rule-based approach and machine learning technologies. This system is able to extract named entities (persons, locations and organizations) and will become a part of stack technology for NLP developed by National Research University „Higher School of Economics”. At this moment in time the system has 93% precision (evaluated by Dialogue Evaluation Conference on 37 000 annotated texts).
My interest in Machine Translation
My interest in Apertium projects
I am interested in working on an unreleased language pair for Sicilian-Spanish translation.
As my coding challenge I created a new language package scn-spa, added basic vocabulary to the dictionary of Sicilian and translations into Sicilian-Spanisch dictionary. I am also currently working on
I also started to conduct research in the structure of Sicilian language: I have got into touch with contributors of Wikipedia in Sicilian language and thanks to spectei I also have reached computational linguist who studies in Munich and is native speaker of Sicilian.
