  • backend: exercise question generation for "Leksa" with types (text -> text, text -> multiple choice)
  • backend: exercise answer validation for these types

Next Meeting

11. Oct 2016, Minnesota: 08.00, Norway/Sweden: 15.00

Initial project setup

  • create virtual environment
  • initialize django structure
  • initialize main apps:
    • backend
    • frontend
  • initialize backend sub-apps:
    • linguistics database
    • configuration
    • generation
    • answers
  • initialize frontend sub-apps:
    • topics
    • exercises
    • pages

Technical notes

Starting up with django

virtualenv env

first time only: django-admin startproject oahpa

then, create apps with: python manage.py startapp

Sketching things out

Database model details

Database model sketches

  • Answer validation models
  • Question/Answer generation models
  • user interaction backend models?

Today's schemes:

Database model sketch discussion

Answer validation models

  • How do we handle parallel forms. Possibilities:
    • Form-Form relationship: table containing relationship type, and form connections
    • canonical tag vs. detailed tags: +V+Prs+Sg1 ~ +V+Prs+Sg1+Orth/Etc: use the canonical tags to find all parallel forms, and then the detailed tags to determine the difference

Question/Answer generation models:

  • whether or not sentence generation needs to select relevant forms: are the templates for questions overspecified or underspecified for morphology tasks?

User interaction models:

  • topics should be enough to get back to the 'old' oahpa of specified training
