Work in Year 1 • Establish partnerships • Collect data • First version of Example-Based MT between Spanish and one indigenous language • Develop elicitation corpus • Build elicitation interface
Establishing Partnerships • Identify a community that wants to work with us: design an MT application that fits in with their plans for community development or bilingual or monolingual education • Identify scientists who want to work with us: linguists, computer scientists, etc. • Identify non-U.S. funding sources for the indigenous community and scientists. • Identify existing programs like ENLACES
Work in Year 2 • Ongoing work from Year 1 • Experiment with version space learning of translation rules • Build a rule interpreter for running the translation rules
