An on-line course <I>GF for Resource Grammar Writers</I> will start on
|
||
Monday 20 April at 15.30 CEST. The slides and recordings of the five

<H2>Executive summary</H2>
|
||
<P>
|
||
GF Resource Grammar Library is an open-source computational grammar resource
|
||
that currently covers 12 languages.
|
||
The Summer School is a part of a collaborative effort to extend the library
|
||
to all of the 23 official EU languages. Also other languages
|
||
chosen by the participants are welcome.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
The missing EU languages are:
|
||
Czech, Dutch, Estonian, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Latvian, Lithuanian,
|
||
Maltese, Portuguese, Slovak, and Slovenian. There is also more work to
|
||
be done on Polish and Romanian.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
The linguistic coverage of the library includes the inflectional morphology
|
||
and basic syntax of each language. It can be used in GF applications
|
||
and also ported to other formats. It can also be used for building other
|
||
linguistic resources, such as morphological lexica and parsers.
|
||
The library is licensed under LGPL.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
In the summer school, each language will be implemented by one or two students
|
||
working together. A morphology implementation will be credited
|
||
as a Chalmers course worth 7.5 ETCS points; adding a syntax implementation
|
||
will be worth more. The estimated total work load is 1-2 months for the
|
||
morphology, and 3-6 months for the whole grammar.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
Participation in the course is free. Registration is done via the courses's
|
||
Google group, <A HREF="http://groups.google.com/group/gf-resource-school-2009/"><CODE>groups.google.com/group/gf-resource-school-2009/</CODE></A>. The registration deadline is 15 June 2009.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
Some travel grants will be available. They are distributed on the basis of a
|
||
GF programming contest in April and May.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
The summer school will be held on 17-28 August 2009, at the campus of
|
||
Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden.

<H2>Introduction</H2>
|
||
<P>
|
||
Since 2007, EU-27 has 23 official languages, listed in the diagram on top of this
|
||
document. There is a growing need of linguistic resources for these
|
||
languages, to help in tasks such as translation and information retrieval.
|
||
These resources should be <B>portable</B> and <B>freely accessible</B>.
|
||
Languages marked in red in the diagram are of particular interest for
|
||
the summer school, since they are those on which the effort will be concentrated.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
GF (Grammatical Framework,
|
||
<A HREF="http://digitalgrammars.com/gf"><CODE>digitalgrammars.com/gf</CODE></A>)
|
||
is a <B>functional programming language</B> designed for writing natural
|
||
language grammars. It provides an efficient platform for this task, due to
|
||
its modern characteristics:
|
||
</P>
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>It is a functional programming language, similar to Haskell and ML.
|
||
<LI>It has a static type system and type checker.
|
||
<LI>It has a powerful module system supporting separate compilation
|
||
and data abstraction.
|
||
<LI>It has an optimizing compiler to <B>Portable Grammar Format</B> (PGF).
|
||
<LI>PGF can be further compiled to other formats, such as JavaScript and
|
||
speech recognition language models.
|
||
<LI>GF has a <B>resource grammar library</B> giving access to the morphology and
|
||
basic syntax of 12 languages.
|
||
</UL>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
In addition to "ordinary" grammars for single languages, GF
|
||
supports <B>multilingual grammars</B>. A multilingual GF grammar consists of an
|
||
<B>abstract syntax</B> and a set of <B>concrete syntaxes</B>.
|
||
An abstract syntax is system of <B>trees</B>, serving as a semantic
|
||
model or an ontology. A concrete syntax is a mapping from abstract syntax
|
||
trees to strings of a particular language.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
These mappings defined in concrete syntax are <B>reversible</B>: they
|
||
can be used both for <B>generating</B> strings from trees, and for
|
||
<B>parsing</B> strings into trees. Combinations of generation and
|
||
parsing can be used for <B>translation</B>, where the abstract
|
||
syntax works as an <B>interlingua</B>. Thus GF has been used as a
|
||
framework for building translation systems in several areas
|
||
of application and large sets of languages.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<A NAME="toc4"></A>
|
||
<H2>The GF resource grammar library</H2>
|
||
<P>
|
||
The GF resource grammar library is a set of grammars usable as libraries when
|
||
building translation systems and other applications.
|
||
The library currently covers
|
||
the 9 languages coloured in green in the diagram above; in addition,
|
||
Catalan, Norwegian, and Russian are covered, and there is ongoing work on
|
||
Arabic, Hindi/Urdu, Polish, Romanian, and Thai.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
The purpose of the resource grammar library is to define the "low-level" structure
|
||
of a language: inflection, word order, agreement. This structure belongs to what
|
||
linguists call morphology and syntax. It can be very complex and requires
|
||
a lot of knowledge. Yet, when translating from one language to
|
||
another, knowing morphology and syntax is but a part of what is needed.
|
||
The translator (whether human
|
||
or machine) must understand the meaning of what is translated, and must also know
|
||
the idiomatic way to express the meaning in the target language. This knowledge
|
||
can be very domain-dependent and requires in general an expert in the field to
|
||
reach high quality: a mathematician in the field of mathematics, a meteorologist
|
||
in the field of weather reports, etc.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
The problem is to find a person who is an expert in both the domain of translation
|
||
and in the low-level linguistic details. It is the rareness of this combination
|
||
that has made it difficult to build interlingua-based translation systems.
|
||
The GF resource grammar library has the mission of helping in this task.
|
||
It encapsulates the low-level linguistics in program modules
|
||
accessed through easy-to-use interfaces.
|
||
Experts on different domains can build translation systems by using the library,
|
||
without knowing low-level linguistics. The idea is much the same as when a
|
||
programmer builds a graphical user interface (GUI) from high-level elements such as
|
||
buttons and menus, without having to care about pixels or geometrical forms.

<H3>Missing EU languages, by the family</H3>
|
||
<P>
|
||
Writing a grammar for a language is usually easier if other languages
|
||
from the same family already have grammars. The colours have the same
|
||
meaning as in the diagram above.

<H3>Applications of the library</H3>
|
||
<P>
|
||
In addition to translation, the library is also useful in <B>localization</B>,
|
||
that is, porting a piece of software to new languages.
|
||
The GF resource grammar library has been used in three major projects that need
|
||
interlingua-based translation or localization of systems to new languages:
|
||
</P>
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>in KeY,
|
||
<A HREF="http://www.key-project.org/"><CODE>http://www.key-project.org/</CODE></A>,
|
||
for writing formal and informal software specifications (3 languages)
|
||
<LI>in WebALT,
|
||
<A HREF="http://webalt.math.helsinki.fi/content/index_eng.html"><CODE>http://webalt.math.helsinki.fi/content/index_eng.html</CODE></A>,
|
||
for translating mathematical exercises to 7 languages
|
||
<LI>in TALK <A HREF="http://www.talk-project.org"><CODE>http://www.talk-project.org</CODE></A>,
|
||
where the library was used for localizing spoken dialogue systems
|
||
to six languages
|
||
</UL>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
The library is also a generic <B>linguistic resource</B>,
|
||
which can be used for tasks
|
||
such as language teaching and information retrieval. The liberal license (LGPL)
|
||
makes it usable for anyone and for any task. GF also has tools supporting the
|
||
use of grammars in programs written in other
|
||
programming languages: C, C++, Haskell,
|
||
Java, JavaScript, and Prolog. In connection with the TALK project,
|
||
support has also been
|
||
developed for translating GF grammars to language models used in speech
|
||
recognition (GSL/Nuance, HTK/ATK, SRGS, JSGF).
|
||
</P>
|
||
<A NAME="toc7"></A>
|
||
<H3>The structure of the library</H3>
|
||
<P>
|
||
The library has the following main parts:
|
||
</P>
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI><B>Inflection paradigms</B>, covering the inflection of each language.
|
||
<LI><B>Core Syntax</B>, covering a large set of syntax rule that
|
||
can be implemented for all languages involved.
|
||
<LI><B>Common Test Lexicon</B>, giving ca. 500 common words that can be used for
|
||
testing the library.
|
||
<LI><B>Language-Specific Syntax Extensions</B>, covering syntax rules that are
|
||
not implementable for all languages.
|
||
<LI><B>Language-Specific Lexica</B>, word lists for each language, with
|
||
accurate morphological and syntactic information.
|
||
</UL>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
The goal of the summer school is to implement, for each language, at least
|
||
the first three components. The latter three are more open-ended in character.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<A NAME="toc8"></A>
|
||
<H2>The summer school</H2>
|
||
<P>
|
||
The goal of the summer school is to extend the GF resource grammar library
|
||
to covering all 23 EU languages, which means we need 15 new languages.
|
||
We also welcome other languages than these 23,
|
||
if there are interested participants.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
The amount of work and skill is between a Master's thesis and a PhD thesis.
|
||
The Russian implementation was made by Janna Khegai as a part of her
|
||
PhD thesis; the thesis contains other material, too.
|
||
The Arabic implementation was started by Ali El Dada in his Master's thesis,
|
||
but the thesis does not cover the whole API. The realistic amount of work is
|
||
somewhere between 3 and 8 person months,
|
||
but this is very much language-dependent.
|
||
Dutch, for instance, can profit from previous implementations of German and
|
||
Scandinavian languages, and will probably require less work.
|
||
Latvian and Lithuanian are the first languages of the Baltic family and
|
||
will probably require more work.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
In any case, the proposed allocation of work power is 2 participants per
|
||
language. They will do 1 months' worth of home work, followed
|
||
by 2 weeks of summer school, followed by 4 months work at home.
|
||
Who are these participants?
|
||
</P>
|
||
<A NAME="toc9"></A>
|
||
<H3>Selecting participants</H3>
|
||
<P>
|
||
Persons interested to participate in the Summer School should sign up in
|
||
the <B>Google Group</B> of the course,
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
<A HREF="http://groups.google.com/group/gf-resource-school-2009/"><CODE>groups.google.com/group/gf-resource-school-2009/</CODE></A>
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
The registration deadline is 15 June 2009.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
Notice: you can sign up in the Google
|
||
group even if you are not planning to attend the summer school, but are
|
||
just interested in the topic. There will be a separate registration to the
|
||
school itself later.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
The participants are recommended to learn GF in advance, by self-study from the
|
||
<A HREF="http://digitalgrammars.com/gf/doc/gf-tutorial.html">tutorial</A>.
|
||
This should take a couple of weeks. An <B>on-line course</B> will be
|
||
arranged on 20-29 April to help in getting started with GF.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
At the end of the on-line course, a <B>programming assignment</B> will be published.
|
||
This assignment will test skills required in resource grammar programming.
|
||
Work on the assignment will take a couple of weeks.
|
||
Those who are interested in getting a travel grant will submit
|
||
their sample resource grammar fragment
|
||
to the Summer School Committee by 12 May.
|
||
The Committee then decides who is given a travel grant of up to 1000 EUR.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
Notice: you can participate in the summer school without following the on-line
|
||
course or participating in the contest. These things are required only if you
|
||
want a travel grant. If requested by enough many participants, the lectures of
|
||
the on-line course will be repeated in the beginning of the summer school.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
The summer school itself is devoted for working on resource grammars.
|
||
In addition to grammar writing itself, testing and evaluation is
|
||
performed. One way to do this is via adding new languages
|
||
to resource grammar applications - in particular, to the WebALT mathematical
|
||
exercise translator.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
The resource grammars are expected to be completed by December 2009. They will
|
||
be published at GF website and licensed under LGPL.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
The participants are encouraged to contact each other and even work in groups.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<A NAME="toc10"></A>
|
||
<H3>Who is qualified</H3>
|
||
<P>
|
||
Writing a resource grammar implementation requires good general programming
|
||
skills, and a good explicit knowledge of the grammar of the target language.
|
||
A typical participant could be
|
||
</P>
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>native or fluent speaker of the target language
|
||
<LI>interested in languages on the theoretical level, and preferably familiar
|
||
with many languages (to be able to think about them on an abstract level)
|
||
<LI>familiar with functional programming languages such as ML or Haskell
|
||
(GF itself is a language similar to these)
|
||
<LI>on Master's or PhD level in linguistics, computer science, or mathematics
|
||
</UL>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
But it is the quality of the assignment that is assessed, not any formal
|
||
requirements. The "typical participant" was described to give an idea of
|
||
who is likely to succeed in this.
|
||
</P>
|

<A NAME="toc11"></A>
|
||
<H3>Costs</H3>
|
||
<P>
|
||
The summer school is free of charge.
|
||
</P>
|

Some travel grants are given, on the basis of a programming contest,
|
||
to cover travel and accommodation costs up to 1000 EUR
|
||
per person.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
The number of grants will be decided during Spring 2009, and the grand
