I think this depends a lot on the length of the sentence - it's doing a very detailed parse of the (English) sentence, and the possibilities that have to be considered and pruned increase with length. Here, two sentences of 64 words in total, lifted at random from a story in today's "Guardian", parse in 0.8 seconds. That is probably slow compared to CG, which is lightning fast, but it's also probably acceptable for many purposes. What link grammar has to offer, I think, is that the parse gives an English sentence which is nicely segmented (ie CG setparents can be easily generated), ready for moving chunks around, so you can leapfrog straight to that. I'm looking at English->Welsh (though I keep getting sidetracked), but the principle should be applicable to any English->Whatever pair. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly kevindonnelly.org.uk cymraeg.org.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Apertium-stuff mailing list Apertium-stuff@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/apertium-stuff
