5 May 2010 12:00
Europe/Helsinki

On May 4th and 5th, Aarne Ranta and Ramona Enache are coming to Helsinki to give a short course on the Grammatical Framework. The course covers a tutorial to GF, an overview of some recent advances in the development and application of GF, as well as some hands-on exercises.

Further information about the course can be found on the course home page.

CNL 2010 2nd Workshop on Controlled Natural Languages

Marettimo Island, Sicily (Italy) 13-15 September 2010


Controlled natural languages (CNLs) are subsets of natural languages, obtained by restricting the grammar and vocabulary in order to reduce or eliminate ambiguity and complexity.

Clarification of GF<->Ontology interoperability

The following three tasks can be based on this interoperability:

  1. Natural Language Generation from ontology
  2. Translation of natural language queries to SPARQL
  3. Information extraction
  1. Natural Language Generation from ontology
  2. We could follow the scheme:
    • Determine small ontology subgraphs.
    • For each ontology subgraph define natural language patterns that describe it.
    • Define GF grammars that can parse all natural language patterns.

Creating Linguistic Resources with GF

Europe/Stockholm

LREC 2010 Tutorial, Malta, 17 May 2010

Aarne Ranta

Background

The tutorial gives an introduction to GF, Grammatical Framework (grammaticalframework.org), which is a special-purpose programming language for implementing grammars. GF has partly the same scope as grammar formalisms like HPSG and LFG, but differs from them by having a concept of multilingual grammars, i.e. grammars with shared semantic representations.

MOLTO at EAMT 2010

27 May 2010
28 May 2010
Europe/Stockholm

MOLTO will be presented at the 14th Annual Conference of the European Association for Machine Translation, EAMT 2010, taking place between the 27th - 28th of May 2010 in Saint-Raphaël, France. Cristina España-Bonet and Lluís Màrquez from UPC will talk about Robust Estimation of Feature Weights in Statistical Machine Translation on May 27th, 2010 during the afternoon poster session, but they will also give a short description of MOLTO during the session on European Community supported projects on May 28th, 2010 at 11:00.

Creating a MacPorts project for gf

The goal of submitting gf as a MacProject is to be eventually able to type:

sudo port install gf

to have gf automagically compiled and installed in your mac.

Ways to facilitate the installation of Gf for Mac OS X

I started to examine ways to simplify the installation of gf for Mac OS X users
