Re: [Mt-list] Computers & translation in Africa / involving African languages
Professor Arvi Hurskainen at University of Helsinki has conducted a lot of research on language technology for Bantu languages and especially Swahili. Here are some links related to that research: - Helsinki Corpus of Swahili: http://www.aakkl.helsinki.fi/cameel/corpus/intro.htm - SALAMA - Swahili Language Manager http://www.njas.helsinki.fi/salama/ (includes a project on Swahili-to-English Machine Translation) - PhD thesis by Wanjiku Ng'ang'a: Word Sense Disambiguation of Swahili http://ethesis.helsinki.fi/julkaisut/hum/aasia/vk/nganga/ Best regards, Timo Honkela On Thu, 24 Aug 2006, Don Osborn wrote: > I have updated a very modest presentation of some info relevant to MT in > Africa at http://www.bisharat.net/Trans/ .

[Mt-list] Registry of Latin America Researchers in NLP and CL
[Apologies for a few cross postings...] Greetings all, Back in November 2002 Brian Rassier (undergraduate student at Duluth) and I released the Registry of Latin American Researchers in Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics. There are currently about 170 people registered, and we hope that this will continue to grow and remain current. You can visit the Registry at: http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/registry/registry.cgi The intent of the Registry is to provide a centralized source of information about students, researchers, professors, business people, etc. who work in Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics in Latin America, or who are originally from Latin America and located elsewhere now. So, if you fit the above description, please register! If you have already registered but didn't get an email from me in the last week about updating your information, please check out the registry - a few email addresses have gone bad lately, so you may want to update that information. Finally, for everyone else, please do visit the site and browse around. It's pretty interesting the amount and variety of research in NLP and CL that is happening in Latin America, and this is a good way (I hope) to get a quick snapshot of what is happening, and maybe identify future collaborators, etc. http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/registry/registry.cgi Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas for the Registry! Enjoy, Ted -- Ted Pedersen http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse ___ Mt-list mailing list

RE: [Mt-list] Computers & translation in Africa / involving African languages
Thanks. It does, but info on Arabic could easily overwhelm a page like that. Is there a (meta-)page(s) with links to MT projects on Arabic? More ideal to add such a link. -Original Message- From: Robert Frederking [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2006 1:04 PM To: Don Osborn Cc: mt-list@eamt.org Subject: Re: [Mt-list] Computers & translation in Africa / involving African languages If Arabic counts, there's much work in the US on Arabic these days.
