WP10 Dissemination and exploitation - M30

Summary of progress

New on the website, the publishing of news items from RSS feeds of MOLTO Consortium partners and from the GF source code repository, in the footer, and news items from MOLTO in the header, alongside the publications and the demos. A new collective demo of the GF application grammars together with the novel GF cloud services is prominently featured on the website.

We are also collecting the Use of resources in a overall table (http://www.molto-project.eu/workplan/resources) that summarizes the data provided by the partners. Personal views (e.g. http://www.molto-project.eu/workplan/resources/olga.caprotti) and workpackage views will be available soon.

Two major events have been organized with the sponsorship of MOLTO: FreeRBMT 2012, and CNL 2012. Free Rule-Based Machine Translation, FreeRBMT 2012, took place in Gothenburg on 13-15 June, 2012 and was organized by UGOT (see http://www.chalmers.se/hosted/freerbmt12-en). A tutorial on the Apertium system followed as additional satellite event, it was attended by MOLTO partners from UPC and UGOT and resulted in the adoption of some of the Apertium lexicons in GF. Papers by J. Camilleri and by Cristina España-Bonet et al. presenting MOLTO results will appear in the online proceedings. Additionally the program included a series of presentations on MOLTO's current work in GF resources and tools for machine translation (see http://www.molto-project.eu/freerbmt-program.html). Many of the MOLTO talks have been streamed live from the moltoproject YouTube channel, http://www.youtube.com/moltoproject, where they can still be watched.

The Third Workshop on Controlled Natural Language, CNL 2012, took place on 29–31 August 2012 in Zurich, Switzerland. UZH has been organizing this meeting over the past years, and this time as a MOLTO activity. A few papers were presented by the MOLTO Consortium, listed below, but we also note a contribution by external researchers, Normunds Grūzītis, Pēteris Paikens and Guntis Bārzdiņš, FrameNet Resource Grammar Library for GF, using the MOLTO Phrasebook as case study in their work.

On 14 August, Aarne Ranta visited Lingsoft Inc in Helsinki. Lingsoft is "a full-service language management company", producing for instance the proofing tools for the Nordic languages and German in Microsoft Office products. Lingsoft is one of the most successful language technology companies, founded in 1986 and working with numerous partners and products. Recent products range from spell checking to language education tools, speech recognition, and translation. He was invited by the CEO Juhani Reiman and the Senior Advisor Simo Vihjanen to give a presentation of MOLTO's tools and discuss possible collaborations. MOLTO and Lingsoft share the belief in precise linguistic knowledge as a key to successful language processing. Lingsoft has now set up a group to explore the possibilities offered by MOLTO and GF. The focus is on machine-assisted translation for specific domains.
