Hi, if you work on a particular language pair, I suggest to build a baseline system, analyze the mistakes and consider what needs to be done to improve it.
There is typically something that can be done with regard to morphology or reordering. At least you will learn something about the problem of machine translation for this particular language. -phi On Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 2:54 PM, Pari Programmer <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Raphael, > Thanks, but as I said before, I have studied nlp for 3 years but just > theoretically. everytime I decided to implement the algorithms which > were presented in the books and papers, I found it impossible. > I have read documents of Moses and now I know what it can do and what it > can't. > I have some ideas in persian morphology, persian POS tagging, Word > sense disambiguation for persian, making Persian-English corpus, > syntax based Persian to English translation, post pre/processing of > input/output sentences,finding similar sentences in persian ( > syntastically and semantically) and so on. but I cant implement them. > I'm looking for a short and good way to improve my programming skill. > I have founded "natural language processing with python" but I think > this is not a short path... > > Time is going, my ideas are increasing but I cant do anything. this is > so painful...... > > > > Date: Sun, 4 Apr 2010 17:27:27 +0100 > > From: Raphael Payen <[email protected]> > > Subject: Re: [Moses-support] What have I to do? > > To: [email protected] > > Message-ID: > > <[email protected]> > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 > > > > Well, it's a hard question, after all no one can really know better > > than you what you should do. > > > > But if you can't write complex code, I don't advise you to try to > > improve moses code.
