[3/27/13 3:11:19 PM] Olga Caprotti: do you see the topic of this conversation?
[3/27/13 3:11:25 PM] Olga Caprotti: it says MARCH SG call
[3/27/13 3:11:30 PM] Olga Caprotti: it is the current one
[3/27/13 3:12:05 PM] Olga Caprotti: usual agenda
[3/27/13 3:12:41 PM] Olga Caprotti: BI: (Joris) we have had 2 more explanation engines for ontologies
[3/27/13 3:14:01 PM] Olga Caprotti: BI: we have sentences from old and from new prototypes - there are fragments produced by LEMON esp. lexicons, it is crucial for doing many languages however we can only do english so far- so we can only look at english - we had to come up with an alternative to do more langauges
[3/27/13 3:14:18 PM] Olga Caprotti: BI: our data for evaluation is only in English - not so useful.
[3/27/13 3:14:44 PM] Olga Caprotti: BI: we need to fix the LEMON lexication but this is a huge effort - quite a setback
[3/27/13 3:15:45 PM] Mateva: Inari replied in mail
[3/27/13 3:16:02 PM] Mateva: she is onlline now
[3/27/13 3:16:12 PM] Olga Caprotti: BI: BI: we thought more languages would be supported by LEMON but when we tried to use it (in production) the only lexicon we could use was English. We need tagging - we might do it manually - for the evaluation for Dutch - our main lang pair was NL-EN
[3/27/13 3:17:01 PM] Mateva added Inari Listenmaa to this conversation
[3/27/13 3:17:08 PM] Olga Caprotti: AR: will you solve this before the review?
[3/27/13 3:17:13 PM] Aarne Ranta added Inari Listenmaa to this conversation
[3/27/13 3:17:17 PM] Olga Caprotti: BI: yes - we might have to do it manually
[3/27/13 3:18:05 PM] Inari Listenmaa: Ok, I'm here
[3/27/13 3:18:05 PM] Olga Caprotti: Inari did you just join?
[3/27/13 3:18:10 PM] Inari Listenmaa: Mic problems probably once again
[3/27/13 3:18:14 PM] Olga Caprotti: do you have a mic?
[3/27/13 3:18:15 PM] Inari Listenmaa: But i can listen
[3/27/13 3:18:20 PM] Inari Listenmaa: Yes
[3/27/13 3:18:29 PM] Olga Caprotti: Olga Caprotti has ejected Lauri Carlson from this conversation
[3/27/13 3:19:44 PM] Olga Caprotti: NEF: 3 isssues, evaluation : wiki gf logging and stability improved, design of evaluation was long discussion, i will be one of the external evaluator and there will beother 2
[3/27/13 3:19:59 PM] Olga Caprotti: NEF: we sent sentences to Jussi
[3/27/13 3:20:15 PM] Olga Caprotti: NEF: we are waiting for feedback -
[3/27/13 3:20:24 PM] Inari Listenmaa: Jussi will be traveling next week
[3/27/13 3:20:30 PM] Inari Listenmaa: But he's got them
[3/27/13 3:20:36 PM] Olga Caprotti: NEF: acewiki gf is using a GF service on our service
[3/27/13 3:21:08 PM] Olga Caprotti: NEF: flagship, please play around and send us feedback
[3/27/13 3:21:26 PM] Olga Caprotti: NEF: sent report by email - (will be in the minutes)
[3/27/13 3:24:00 PM] Olga Caprotti: MM: WP4 ended long time ago but we are working an annex on a deliverable due on 5th april. we have other two more urgent deliverables on may 31st - the new doc will clarify details of the grammar-ontology interoperability: we expect the part on generation sparql gf from UGOT
[3/27/13 3:25:13 PM] Olga Caprotti: MM: we would like the partners' contribution to extend wbk to ita, fre, ger.  in WP4 -- verbalization of predicates in the ontology.
[3/27/13 3:26:19 PM] Olga Caprotti: MM: aarne pls take a look at how we do the mapping from the ontology predicates to gf types
[3/27/13 3:29:50 PM] Olga Caprotti: MM: eclipse plugin -- we promised some bug fixing, early April. Not really using it because of the many issues
[3/27/13 3:30:06 PM] Olga Caprotti: MM: lexicons needed for the grammar for the demo
[3/27/13 3:30:26 PM] Olga Caprotti: MM: examples in the demo need the lexicons absolutely
[3/27/13 3:30:55 PM] Olga Caprotti: MM: cannot meet the evaluation deadline unless lexicons are in- please prioritize this.
[3/27/13 3:32:17 PM] Olga Caprotti: MM: WP8 we are working on the prototype - lots of effort with Dana
[3/27/13 3:32:35 PM] Olga Caprotti: MM: in my opinion it is looking great
[3/27/13 3:32:52 PM] Olga Caprotti: MM: elegant generation of sparql - publication possible

[3/27/13 3:39:28 PM] Olga Caprotti: JS: cristina is finalizing the library for wp5, and the deliverable is work in progress - wp7 by meritxell, they are creating syntactic measures for the lexicons, olga seb and i working on the flagship for mathematics: we can express definition of a prime number. oc working on spanish and italian. we present it in madrid.
[3/27/13 3:42:48 PM] Jussi Rautio: are there any guesstimates about when the maths flagship has some word problems to quality evaluate?
[3/27/13 3:44:21 PM] Olga Caprotti: JS: d6.3 has to be made final - OC is reviewing it
[3/27/13 3:44:40 PM] Inari Listenmaa: Btw when is the final molto meeting?

[3/27/13 3:48:48 PM] Jordi Saludes: I'm back
[3/27/13 3:48:59 PM] Olga Caprotti: JR: i think it would be easy to implement afterwards
[3/27/13 3:49:13 PM] Olga Caprotti: JR: we have no resources in UHEL to implement it.
[3/27/13 3:49:33 PM] Inari Listenmaa: LA is basically our only programmer and he's working 16.5 hrs/week
[3/27/13 3:50:41 PM] Inari Listenmaa: I'd like to ask about the GF cloud things
[3/27/13 3:51:22 PM] Inari Listenmaa: Aarne mentioned some time ago that UGOT is planning an integration of Syntax editor and Simple translation tool. Is this still happening?
[3/27/13 3:51:48 PM] Aarne Ranta: This integration has higher priority than the TAUS standard
[3/27/13 3:51:56 PM] Inari Listenmaa: I agree
[3/27/13 3:53:04 PM] Inari Listenmaa: D3.3 deadline is sunday, can we write cloud toosl integration in it?
[3/27/13 3:53:34 PM] Olga Caprotti: JR: looks like TAUS API is made more for project management than for translation
[3/27/13 3:53:36 PM] Inari Listenmaa: We abandoned GS
[3/27/13 3:53:43 PM] Inari Listenmaa: We're doing Pootle instead

[3/27/13 3:53:54 PM] Olga Caprotti: when do we get a demo?
[3/27/13 3:54:08 PM] Inari Listenmaa: When LauriA has it ready
[3/27/13 3:54:21 PM] Inari Listenmaa: He's the bottleneck, the only good programmer with 2 working days a week
[3/27/13 3:54:32 PM] Inari Listenmaa: :D
[3/27/13 3:54:33 PM] Inari Listenmaa: Alright
[3/27/13 3:54:35 PM] Olga Caprotti: are you more satisfied with it?
[3/27/13 3:54:48 PM] Inari Listenmaa: :---D
[3/27/13 3:54:50 PM] Inari Listenmaa: No it's not

[3/27/13 3:57:22 PM] Inari Listenmaa: @Olga: It is, already the first prototypes are much more simple and usable than GS ever was
[3/27/13 3:57:38 PM] Olga Caprotti: JR: got patent material today - will  look  at it next week - not avail. before
[3/27/13 3:58:15 PM] Olga Caprotti: JR: the most difficult thing is to find evaluators, they have to be professional

[3/27/13 3:58:56 PM] Olga Caprotti: JR: everything is now urgent - we are running out of time
[3/27/13 3:59:35 PM] Olga Caprotti: JR: please send samples asap

[3/27/13 4:01:22 PM] Olga Caprotti: JR: about the query languages - i understand the museum query languages are sent to professionals - will they evaluate the linguistic quality?
[3/27/13 4:01:47 PM] Olga Caprotti: AR: we will not have as many experts as we planned. will be able to do only for some languages
[3/27/13 4:02:09 PM] Olga Caprotti: JR: can you create some queries for which the can get answers?

[3/27/13 4:03:11 PM] Olga Caprotti: MM: working wrt to dbpedia paintings but more will come
[3/27/13 4:03:55 PM] Olga Caprotti: MM: it does not generate all kinds of sentences because some data is not available in dbpedia (eg color of painting)
[3/27/13 4:04:46 PM] Olga Caprotti: MM: i am a fan of this grammar generating sparql
[3/27/13 4:05:18 PM] Olga Caprotti: JR: math word problems -
[3/27/13 4:05:53 PM] Olga Caprotti: JS: check the wiki http://www.molto-project.eu/wiki/living-deliverables/d63-assistant-solvi...

[3/27/13 4:07:29 PM] Olga Caprotti: @JR, MM: I am the contact point for requests for evaluation
[3/27/13 4:07:54 PM] Olga Caprotti: AR: practice: send to the whole molto - he who feels responsible answers
[3/27/13 4:09:32 PM] Inari Listenmaa: A second
[3/27/13 4:09:51 PM] Inari Listenmaa: You can include me in the molto organizatory emails
[3/27/13 4:09:57 PM] Inari Listenmaa: Seppo is having a baby in a few days

[3/27/13 4:10:55 PM] Olga Caprotti: AR: DD presented the paintings today, also worked on hybrid systems
[3/27/13 4:11:04 PM] Inari Listenmaa: By the way, did Maria mention that we've also produced input for D4.3A
[3/27/13 4:11:19 PM] Olga Caprotti: AR: WP5 and WP3 overlap in the robust parser
[3/27/13 4:11:57 PM] Olga Caprotti: AR: we'd like to send materials for eval using the robust parser
[3/27/13 4:12:48 PM] Olga Caprotti: (I must go -- pls add minutes yourself here) I will cut&paste when back
[3/27/13 4:12:55 PM] Olga Caprotti: bye - happy easter
[3/27/13 4:12:57 PM] Inari Listenmaa: I can add minutes
[3/27/13 4:13:21 PM] Inari Listenmaa: Bye!
[3/27/13 4:15:25 PM] Inari Listenmaa: AR: using GF needs some training and learning
[3/27/13 4:15:57 PM] Inari Listenmaa: AR: we want to quantify how much effort needed to train people to use GF
[3/27/13 4:16:16 PM] Inari Listenmaa: AR: BeInformed has been aware of this, categorization of different level of skills
[3/27/13 4:17:06 PM] Inari Listenmaa: MM: Borislav & Maria ( & Petar,  milen) have some comments
[3/27/13 4:17:34 PM] Inari Listenmaa: AR: we have found lots of little errors in rgl
[3/27/13 4:17:45 PM] Inari Listenmaa: AR: main thing keeping me busy with gf
[3/27/13 4:18:32 PM] Inari Listenmaa: AR: still TODO, some of the bugs found in ACE are RGL bugs
[3/27/13 4:18:50 PM] Inari Listenmaa: JR: Phrasebook is also revealing RGL bugs
[3/27/13 4:19:14 PM] Inari Listenmaa: JR: Polish Phrasebook problems; rgl problems, some things you can't even say in POlish
[3/27/13 4:20:50 PM] Inari Listenmaa: MM: also in Bulgarian some phrases sounds strange. Hesitation in evaluating, tradeoff between "can be said like this, perfectly said like this". Important to advise people how to evaluate.
[3/27/13 4:21:00 PM] Inari Listenmaa: JR: evaluators commented that there is no context
[3/27/13 4:21:29 PM] Inari Listenmaa: I don't have anything to add either
[3/27/13 4:22:51 PM] Inari Listenmaa: Bye

UZH Mar report

Here is the status of UZH as of 27 March 2013.

Evaluation:

  • Improving the stability of the AceWiki-GF code
  • Improving logging features
  • Extending and improving the Geography grammar/lexicon
  • Working on the design of the evaluation
  • Working on instructions and questionnaire for the evaluation
  • Will do in the next days a local pre-trial of the evaluation and the evaluation material with three persons (German, English, Spanish) not involved in the preparation of the evaluation
  • Prepared a set of sentences for the UHEL evaluation; Jussi pointed out some issues with Finnish; we have fixed the main issue (reversed genitive).

Porting:

  • We have installed the GF service on the Attempto server making the AceWiki-GF system faster (= no additional call to the UGOT server), more secure (= grammars can be changed only via the wiki) and more stable (= not affected by changes on the UGOT server).

Flagship AceWiki-GF:

  • We still need to respond to Aarne's email. But people are already now welcome to try AceWiki-GF and provide feedback, especially in the form of "what is the main thing that is lacking (to enable a successful review)".

AceWiki-GF is at http://attempto.ifi.uzh.ch/acewiki-gf/
