Hi,
Reading through the list of SoC project ideas, "Rule-based finite-state
disambiguation C14N" and "Tree-based reordering" in particular take my
fancy. My initial (under-researched and oversimplified) understanding is
that the first project would relate to using finite state machines to remove
ambiguity presented by a given word having multiple context-specific
meanings, and the second to do with data structures used in the translation
process.
I'm just about to finish my undergraduate degree (maths, physics, some
computer science); Apertium represents a way to combine my interests in CS
and language processing. Japanese is my second language (it seems you don't
have any East Asian languages in your translation pairs), and I'd be very
keen to read up on machine translation and surrounding areas.
If someone (Fran?) could spare the time to elaborate on the aforementioned
two projects, that'd be fantastic.
Kind Regards,
Mitchell
