Chris A. Mattmann updated TIKA-1343:
------------------------------------
Component/s: (was: general)
translation
> Create a Tika Translator implementation that uses JoshuaDecoder
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-1343
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1343
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: translation
> Reporter: Chris A. Mattmann
> Assignee: Chris A. Mattmann
> Fix For: 1.6
>
>
> The Joshua Decoder toolkit is a BSD licensed Java-based statistical machine
> translation system hosted at Github:
> http://joshua-decoder.org/
> Joshua takes in corpuses and trains models that can then be used to do
> language translation. Currently there is support for e.g., Spanisn->English,
> Indian dialects->English, Chinese->English, and a few others.
> https://github.com/joshua-decoder/joshua/
> It would be nice to build a Tika Translator on top of Joshua. There are of
> course several issues with this:
> * the models are huge - so we'll need a separate package or Maven module,
> maybe tika-translate-joshua or something to release the models and we'll need
> to build the models. I just went through the process of building the
> Spanish->English one, and it still needs to be rebuilt b/c I did it wrong,
> but it took over a day
> * there is a configuration for Joshua, and so we need some way of passing
> that config into the Translator. Not sure of the best way to do this.
> * Joshua isn't in the Central repository. I've started a discussion on the
> Joshua lists about this:
> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/joshua_support/9Y04miboUj0
> Anyhoo, I've got a working patch right now with hard code stuff, and a manual
> install into my Maven repo for brave souls out there that want to try it.
