Hello, My name is Long. I'm from Vietnam. I'm a programmer. Recently, I have downloaded Joshua vi-en language package and feel interested in it. I think I can help to improve it but I don't know where to begin.
I don't have background in machine translation. I only have a very general overview of machine learning (I know what it is, I know what it does and I used Weka a few times for some simple examples). So, my goal is: 1> Improve the existing Vi-En language package. 2> Making a new language package. I decided to learn machine translation by doing (writing code), so I followed the tutorial here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/JOSHUA/Joshua+Tutorial But in "Run the pipeline" section I can't find the "joshua-tutorial/runs" file. When I tried building Joshua using Maven, it says "BUILD SUCCESS!". But during the process, I noticed this error: ERROR - Can't find libken.so (libken.dylib on OS X) on the Java library path. How do I check if the I built it successfully? Regards, Long Ps: Because I want to learn machine translation by writing code, it would be much help if someone can show me where to begin. I don't need a hands on tutorial, I only need some clues of where to begin. If some one can give me some specifications, I can implement it and contribute the code.
