experiment-langs

Not much has happened.

The exp-est.fst is now slightly more beautiful.

langs

Work on generation done. Overgeneration has been a problem, is not that to the same extent.

Testing

Differences in coverage between langs/est and experimental-langs/est? Jaak is working on setting up a testing environment.

Heli has made the first attempt to generate the Oahpa database with Heiki's FST (experiment-langs).

• The overall impression is good.
• About 30 compound nouns and 50 simple nouns (those with Sg Nom homonyms) were not generated.
• A few errors have been discovered.
• Some specific discussions about preferred vs non-preferred forms with Heiki will follow.

The work on Morfa-C question-answer templates is in progress (a student from Tartu is working on it).

Both est-fin and fin-est now on http://gtweb.uit.no/jorgal/index.cat.html?dir=est-fin

Summing up MT group meeting

Issues with the Finnish fst:

minoriteettii: before the meeting it was analysed as min#ori#tee#tii

How to work with compound blocking:

+CmpNP/None = does not participate in compounding

example in the lexicon:

gaskka+CmpNP/Last+Sem/Dummytag:gas'kam8 SEAMU ;

Too much generation.
