Hi Suraj,
Please send your emails to the list, not individually to possible mentors
that reply ;)
Regarding your proposal, a few comments:
- We have some tips for GSoC applications [1], one of them being a
template for your proposal that will allow us to better align it to what
we'd like from students. You may want to look into it.
- Your proposal should include information about how you plan to do your
job. Explaining how RBMT (section 1.2) or Apertium (section 1.3) work isn't
really needed. We'd like to see more examples of what you've already done,
instead.
- In the section 2.1, you say things like "*here we have collected the
most common Sanskrit words and their English term and made the aligned
parallel multilingual corpus*".
- Where is *here*?
- Who is *we*?
- In the section 2.2, you say *We have used Penn Treebank part of speech
(POS) tags[7,10-11], eg. {Noun, Pronoun,Adjective, Verb, Adverb,
Preposition, Conjunction,Interjection, Auxiliary, Determiner}={NN,PP, JJ,
VB, RB, IN, CC, UH, AUX, DT }. In slash notation , a sentence is like
this:I/PPneed/VBa/DTpen/NN. *
- Again, who is *we*?
- Why have you added screenshots of some papers into your proposal?
- Why do you include snippets of code using NTLK module?
Again, as I mentioned in my previous feedback, it seems to me that you
haven't spend time looking really into what Apertium is. If you want to
better understand it, you should try to do the coding challenge requested
for your project ([2] or [3]), see what the problems are, and come up with
a realistic timeline for you projecte. Saying "*Addition of multiwords so
to reach quality of developed pair*" doesn't really mean anything: how many
multiwords do you plan to add? How will adding those multiwords improve the
coverage and precision of the language pair? What is, in your opinion,
"Documentation and example code"?
Please come to the IRC [4] if you need any help. Many people in the IRC
channel will be happy to answer you specific questions you may have.
