SC meeting 2011.01.27

Present: AR, OC, JS, PM, LC

Agenda

1. Status of the Consortium

Matrixware situation has been finalized with the revision of the budget and of the DoW (sent today to the EU). New documents will be made available to partners by OC.

UHEL has a new MOLTO person (Shen).

2. Deliverables (wrt upcoming review)

Demos for review can be more technical than those planned for the 2nd project meeting. Review is scheduled for 14.03. List of possible demos:

  • WP6: the mathematical grammar library
  • WP4: KRI with EN and SE
  • UHEL: term management for the translation task in WP5 (connect lexicons to translator's tools) -- also Seppo's has worked on ontology extraction
  • WP9: Maarit's work on evaluation (should be checked with UPC work on evaluation)

3. 2nd Project Meeting

  • public day with talks by the Advisory Boards members, short technical talks (30'), and quick demos
  • WPs review day with quick presentations, + financial summary by Emilia
  • working day on Fri.

Prel. number of participants: 4 (UHEL) + 4 (UPC) + 2 (Onto) + 2 AB

OC: to distribute the forms for the financial reports to partners

4. Problems, if any

WP4: new version of grammars produces too many nonsensical queries, server speed for KRI still problematic, maybe because of virtualization issues

(UHEL is testing the bilingual lexicon in wordnet format for KRI, FI-EN, 200000 senses --- as soon as testing is over, this will be given to Ontotext)

5. Dissemination

  • Kind reminder: If you have submitted a paper, pls upload to web site also!
  • GFSS2011: pls distribute the call for participation to your lists and channels
  • FreeRBMT: possibility to organize next one in 2012. This year's meeting focused on Apertium - we could enlarge scope, involve other projects' members in the PC (eg Ari Aruola? )
