Hello everyone!

The accepted projects have been announced, and I just wanted to email
the list to give an overview of what our students will be working on
over the summer, and who will be mentoring them.

Projects involving improvements to the platform:

* Rule-based finite-state disambiguation
 Hrvoje Peradin
 (Mentors: Jimmy O'Regan, Tommi Pirinen, Francis Tyers)
   The idea of this project is to make a drop in module for
   rule-based disambiguation in Apertium that will allow us to write
   longer-distance disambiguation rules.

* Lexicalised-feature transfer
 Filip Petrovski
 (Mentors: Francis Tyers, Kevin Unhammer)
   This project plans to make a module for Apertium to handle some
   difficult, lexically driven transfer problems. For example, definite
   articles, preposition choice and impersonal constructions in Romance
   languages.

* Embeddable lttoolbox
 Mikel Artetxe
 (Mentors: Jacob Nordfalk, Stephen Tigner, Jimmy O'Regan)
   The idea of this project is to improve the embeddability of the Java
   port of Apertium to allow it to be run on mobile telephones.

* Apertium android port
 Arink Verma
 (Mentors: Stephen Tigner, Jacob Nordfalk, Jimmy O'Regan)
   This project intends to make a nice interface for using Apertium on
   Android-powered mobile telephones.

Projects involving language pairs:

* Indonesian--Malaysian
 Raymond Susanto
 (Mentors: Septina Larasati)

* Kazakh--Tatar
 Ilnar Salimzyanov
 (Mentors: Jonathan North Washington, Mikel Forcada)

* Turkish--Tatar
 Ramil Aglyamzanov
 (Mentors: Hèctor Alos i Font, Jonathan North Washington)

* Slovenian--Serbo-Croatian
 Aleš Horvat
 (Mentors: Jernej Vičič, Hrvoje Peradin)

* Quechua--Spanish
 Vlastimil Rataj
 (Mentors: Trond Trosterud, Petr Homola, Mikel Forcada)

* Turkmen--Turkish
 Yasin Gülbahçe
 (Mentors: Gianluca Grossi, Francis Tyers)

* Maltese--Arabic
 Marija Fronczak
 (Mentors: Kevin Unhammer, Francis Tyers)

If any of the students or mentors want to introduce their projects, and
explain what they've done during the application phase, then please go
ahead!

Regards,

Francis Tyers
