Hi, well "automatic" might not be the most important. I'm rather looking for a solution more integrated into Apertium than a constraint grammar, something less complicated and with a simpler syntax. The first that comes into mind is a substitution for the tagger. A disambiguator would be more appropriate in my opinion. First find the right word, then find the word class for choosing the proper paradigm for analysis and generation. And not the other way around.
I'm looking for some clever algorithm for disambiguation. Reusing existing sources like Word net have been suggested. I'm enthusiastic about the Apertium plug-in to Omega-T and the Apertium Caffeine plug-in. Language pair usable in the these applications have a potential to be widely used. Unfortunately, all language pairs using constraint grammars are excluded from those applications. And I don't think it's a good idea too rewrite constraint grammars to fit into those applications. I'd rather look for some other possibilities to explore.
