\begin{itemize}
|
||||
\item Do you like programming challenges?
|
||||
\item Are you interested in how your language really works?
|
||||
\item Would you like to try and build a computational grammar for your language,
|
||||
and make it available as a part of an international open-source
|
||||
programming effort?
|
||||
\end{itemize}
|
||||
|
||||
Then you should consider attending the GF Resource Grammar Summer School
|
||||
in Gothenburg on 17-28 August 2009.
|
||||
|
||||
The GF Resource Grammar Library is an open-source computational grammar
|
||||
resource that currently covers 12 languages. It has been created in
|
||||
a collaborative effort using the GF (Grammatical Framework) grammar formalism.
|
||||
The Summer School aims to boost the extension of the library to new languages.
|
||||
|
||||
Particularly in focus are the missing 12 of the 23 official languages of the
|
||||
European Union: \textit{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.
|
||||
Any other languages chosen by the participants are also welcome.
|
||||
Good knowledge of the language is essential, but you don't need to be a
|
||||
native speaker.
|
||||
|
||||
The linguistic coverage of the library includes the inflectional morphology
|
||||
and basic syntax of each language. It can be used for parsing,
|
||||
generation, translation, multilingual web pages,
|
||||
speech recognition, dialogue systems, language teaching, morphological
|
||||
analysis, software localization, and lots of other things.
|
||||
Grammars written in GF can be converted to many different formats.
|
||||
The library is licensed under LGPL.
|
||||
|
||||
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 University
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Participation in the summer school is free.
|
||||
Registration is via the courses's Google group,
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{verbatim}
|
||||
http://groups.google.com/group/gf-resource-school-2009/
|
||||
\end{verbatim}
|
||||
The registration deadline is 15 June 2009. An on-line course on GF (recommended,
|
||||
but not compulsory) starts on 20 April.
|
||||
|
||||
Some travel grants will be available. They are distributed on the basis of a
|
||||
GF programming contest in May.
