Transducer infrastructure

a. common answering words for all dialogues
b. dialogue-specific words for each dialogue
- mus lea brlkdajsf
- leago dus bruvsa?
- minulla on konjakkia
- tarkotatko että sinulla on kotikaljaa?

Topics

shop
relatives
school
food
drink

eventually likely spelling correction if not in set

a á
z ž
etc

Setting:

The machine asks: Mitä haluat juoda?

Then the machine knows that the answer should be with a verb in sg1 and a noun in partitive

Any verb spotted should then be analysed. If not in sg1 it should be suggested to be in sg1:

Possible answers + corrections:

juoda kahvi juon kahvia
haluta juoda kahvi haluan juoda kahvia
minä haluat juoda kahvin minä haluan juoda kahvia
en otta kahvi en ota kahvia
etc.

What we sketch here is actually a restricted grammar checker.

1.2.2 case error ... or any grammatical error in the sentence

syntactic templates for the answers

Mitä haluat juoda?
Teetä
Hienoa. (Voitko käyttää kokonaista lausetta?)
Haluan juoda kahvia, mutta ottaisin kuitenkin teetä.

1.3.2.1 correct case
1.3.2.2 then more questions on the same case
1.2.3 correct and forward

iq cat question

logic from car to cat?

a. global logic = conversation

personal life
- car
- cat
- hobbies
professional life
- work
- studies
non-personal
politics
- ...
shopping
- prices
- colours
- paying
traveling
- where have you been (all place names!!!)
- when travel
- how travel

b. local logic

within each subdomain (car, cat, ...) dependent questions

New setting:Student asks.

Give a picture. Instruct the student to ask.

Picture of a shop, with objects

"Now you are in the shop, find out what these things cost."

Goal. Train a special way of making questions, for a special purpose.
Challenge: Write the grammar of all possible questions
paljonko N-Nom (maksaa/olla+V+Ind+Sg3)
...
FSIG
S -> NP VP

Analysing

a. check the questions with a fsa (intelligent list)
b. check the questions with CG

Generating

fsa for generating

M instructs S asks M analyses -- is it c

Tasks

Flow chart of the dialog processing
- different modules and their interaction (Saara)
Flow chart of the dialog process
- different modules and their interaction (Lene)

user: ... maitten ... maiden ...
comp: ... maiden ... (?)

User may use any form from within a relative wide form
Comp should use one form only (Guovdageaidnu?)
User could pick what dialect the comp should use

      boy  girl  adult
EAST Ánde Biret ..
WEST

Gives six parameters, boy-topic, girl-topic, adult-topic for east and west dialect

Drawing persons

Alpha version in one column, eventually with colour

Normal Black Teacher to the right
C where do you live Black
P I live from Tromsø Grey
T do you mean "in"?
P I live in Tromsø Grey..
P I live in Tromsø Blach

For beta version considering multiple coloums

Normal Black            Normal? Grey?         Teacher to the right
C where do you live
                        P I live from Tromsø
                                              T do you mean "in"?
                                              T Do you want to practice <locative>?
                        P I live in Tromsø                      
P I live in Tromsø

feedback
what kind of feedback
integrated feedback,
- comment typos, ask user to pick what she intended
independent feedback
- don't remember words? try THESE ones
- don't remember locative? read HERE

other part of the project: visl sentences
- write the sentences
- revise the cg2visl.pl script (has some ps in it)
- write a visl2ps component (treebank projects, conversion visl2tigerxml)

linguistic
- what grammatical categories should be generated
- (go thorough the isme.fst to make it generate unique forms only)
- working on sets

Time plan

Saara:
- Nothing before holiday
- August: Planning, including correction mechanism
- Autumn: Regular meeting, monthly or so

Lene, Trond
- Autumn:
- Visl: Work
- Look at lærebøker Davvin/Univ.kompendium/Language center´s komp./Johnskareng´s books for primary/sec.school: Kind of questions, word-lists...

Interactive:
Make sets
Make dialogue frames
Make two unique generators (east, west)
Investigate error recognition
Collect corpus of errors???
- Collect student text (Laila, other sources)
- Make a grammar checker, actually (be able to correct errors)
- Make a template for the answer, and be able to check it.
