Hi,
At this year's ParGram meeting, we decided we should have 2 meetings in
2014 (spring and fall).
Regarding the spring meeting, Ron Kaplan has volunteered to host it at
Nuance in California. To find a suitable date, I created a Doodle poll
which you can find here:
http://doodle.com/niwz4hgptcn3rpsr
Please participate in the poll so that we can find a date that suits
most of us. By the way: This will be a special occasion since we will be
celebrating 20 years of ParGram!
Cheers,
Jani

Hi,
At the upcoming ParGram Meeting in Warsaw, we would like to experiment
with a new way to do our usual structure comparison: We would like to
use INESS (http://iness.uib.no/) and ParGramBank directly.
There are a couple of advantages to this. One obvious advantage is that
ParGramBank will grow. But we can also easily switch between
languages/sentences, and there is no need to create a humongous PDF file
with structures in it (last year, our structure handout had 234 pages).
Paul Meurer (www.uib.no/persons/Paul.Meurer) has kindly implemented a
couple of new features in INESS. I attach an email from Paul below.
Please follow his instructions when adding to ParGramBank.
To be able to upload structures to INESS (in Prolog format), you need to
have an account there. Please follow the instructions on the INESS
homepage to create your account. Once the account is created, Paul can
give you the necessary user rights to upload files.
Lastly, I attach the sentences in a text file to this email. As Paul
says in his email, please use a consistent naming scheme for the
structures; you should use something like urd-051-fs (i.e., ISO 639-3
language code - sentence number - fs). Start the sentence number at 51
(there are already 50 sentences in ParGramBank).
If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to send email to Paul,
or myself. Also, Agnieszka/Paul and others, if I forgot anything, feel
free to jump in.
Best,
Jani

I think now everything needed to make INESS suitable for structure
comparison is in place. Here is what is new:
* I have implemented uploading of prolog files (one by one, or as a
gzipped archive)
* Once the sentences (not structures) are aligned, it is easy to switch
between treebanks/languages. It is enough for the sentences to be
aligned to a pivot language (e.g., Urdu). You can test this in the
ParGram treebanks.
What people should do:
* Parse their sentences in XLE
* Use a consistent naming scheme for the sentences (e.g., deu-050-fs),
where the number corresponds to the running sentence number. We should
not start with 1, but continue where we stopped last time. I think new
sentences should start at 50. Alternative translations could be called
deu-050a-fs etc.
* Upload the sentences using the _upload files_ link on the Treebank
overview page (either one-by-one, or as a gzipped archive, no other
archiving program will work).
* Disambiguate the sentences in INESS.
* Add glosses, as described in the documentation.
* Align the sentences, with English as a minimum, using the Alignment
tool. This, Jani or I could do for them.
Alternatively, for languages whose grammar is in INESS, the sentences
could be parsed in INESS directly.
Does this sound feasible?
I think the sentences should be ready quite soon, for people to be able
to do all this before Pargram.

Best wishes,
Paul

Below – and at http://pargram.b.uib.no/meetings/spring-2015-meeting-in-warsaw/ – you'll find a modified (and probably final) version of the programme of the PARGRAM/INESS meeting in Warsaw (2–6 February 2015). The changes wrt. to the previous version: 1) one more talk: Dorothee Beermann, XLFG and the TypeCraft Database of Interlinear Glossed Text, 2) a couple of talks shuffled. See you in Warsaw!
All best,
Adam P.

Dear All,
Please find enclosed below the programme of the 3-day PARGRAM meeting
combined with the 2-day INESS workshop. More information is available at:
https://pargram.b.uib.no/meetings/spring-2015-meeting-in-warsaw/
We still have a slot or two available, so let me and Miriam Butt know if
you'd like to present. Also, let me know if you'd like to take part in
the meeting and are not listed at that web page (to estimate the room
size and the amount of coffee needed).
All best,
Adam P.
