Dear all,

just a reminder that the Google Code-In has just started, and it will
run for seven weeks. The Apertium project is one of the participating
organizations. If you know 13- to 17-year olds who have interest in
programming, please let them know about it.

See forwarded message for more info!

*The Apertium free/open-source machine translation project in Google
Code-In 2013*

[Apologies for multiple postings]

The *Apertium project* [1], which develops a free/open-source rule-based
machine translation platform, is, for the fourth year in a row, one of
the 10 free/open-source organizations [3] participating in the Google
Code-In.

*Google Code-In* [3] is a contest to introduce pre-university students
(aged 13 to 17) to free/open-source software development. Students from
all around the world can participate by tackling small tasks, which may
include code writing, debugging, documentation, production of training
material, etc. For each three tasks, students get a Google Code-In
T-shirt. Each organization, in this case Apertium, will select two
winners of the Grand Prize: a trip to the Google headquarters for the
students and a parent or tutor.

Project Apertium has proposed *a wide variety of tasks* [4], including
the creation of documentation to help users and developers, the
development of dictionaries and rules for new or existing languages, the
development of programs to transform other existing free/open-source
resources to Apertium format or to use Apertium machine translation from
other existing software, etc. There are also debugging and quality
assessment tasks, or even tasks where texts are annotated so that they
can be used to test and train Apertium modules.

*Students* have already come around to the Apertium IRC channel [5] to
ask about tasks, even if the contest does not officially start until
November 16, and *mentors* (around 20 in Apertium this year [4]) have
already started to guide them.

If you are a pre-university student or know one that would be interested
in involving in free/open-source development of machine translation,
tell them to come around and get involved.

Hi,

is the plain text and/or binarised formatting of the phrase table documented anywhere?

James

the text phrase table is described here
http://www.statmt.org/moses/?n=FactoredTraining.ScorePhrases
There's no description of the format for the binary phrase table that I
know of
