Jürgen Wedekind RIP
by Josef van Genabith 29 Dec '21

29 Dec '21

Jürgen Wedekind RIP It is with great sadness that we hear about the passing of Jürgen Wedekind (1956-2021). Jürgen made seminal contributions to LFG and unification-based grammars, including the use of classical logics in describing feature-based grammars, properties of machine translation and complexity and decidability of generation with feature-based grammars, with a string of publications in the journal of Computational Linguistics (1999, 2012, 2014 and 2020). Jürgen was our colleague at IMS, University of Stuttgart, Germany (1985-1996), a research scientist at the University of Tübingen, Germany (1996-1999), a senior researcher and graduate course director at the Center for Language Technology and the University of Copenhagen, Denmark (1999-2021) and a frequent visiting scholar and consultant at XEROX PARC, California. Jürgen obtained his PhD in 1990, and his Habilitation in 1998. We miss Jürgen as a colleague and a friend. We share our sorrow with Jürgen's family. Anette, Thierry and Josef

restarting ParGram?
by Agnieszka Patejuk 28 Aug '21

28 Aug '21

Hi, I am sending this message to all potentially relevant lists (ParGram, XLE, LFG, ParSem) so as to maximise the chance that it will reach people who are interested in this topic. If you know someone who might be interested but is not subscribed to these lists, please consider letting them know. The question is: who would be interested in restarting ParGram meetings? I am not sure what would be the best way to organise this discussion, so I am suggesting the following: • if you think your answer might be of interest to many people (for instance, it might spark a discussion), please consider replying to the list(s) • if not, please reply only to me – I will later go through the responses and post a summary to the relevant lists. I hope that later we can discuss this topic in more detail with people who have expressed interest. All best, Agnieszka

generation from s-structure (rather than f-structure)
by Forst, Martin 01 Sep '19

01 Sep '19

Hi Ron and John, hi all, I've written a small grammar with an s:: projection from the f-structure. Parsing works as expected, and so does regeneration as long as I don't add or remove features. However, my ultimate goal is to generate from s-structures, so I've manually reduced some files resulting from parsing to just the respective s-structures and tried generating from those. Even though I've made all f-structure features addable, generation fails. (And so does regeneration when I make that same list of features removable and addable.) Am I trying something that the generator isn't made for (yet)? Thanks, Martin On October 1, Nuance Automotive will become Cerence Inc. - A.I. for a world in motion.

running transfer on XLE for linux?
by Agnieszka Patejuk 14 Aug '19

14 Aug '19

Dear All, I would like to ask you for help with running transfer on XLE for linux – while it is possible to run transfer on MacOS using this XLE distribution: xle-intelmac-2009-09-18.tar.gz, I could not get transfer running using the 64-bit linux counterpart of this version: xle-linux2.3-64-2009-09-18.tar.gz. The linux package can be obtained from Konstanz redmine (https://typo.uni-konstanz.de/redmine/projects/xle/dmsf?folder_id=1). Is there anyone who can run transfer using xle-linux2.3-64-2009-09-18.tar.gz? I have no problem running XLE itself. However, when I try to run transfer like this (as described in http://ling.uni-konstanz.de/pages/xle/doc/walkthrough.html#Transfer_Walkthr…; I am attaching the relevant files for convenience): % create-transfer % create-parser demo-eng.lfg % load-transfer-rules demo-eng-xfr.pl I get the following error (after load-transfer-rules): % ERROR: No Sicstus Prolog for this platform. % Transfer system couldn't reload rules. I would be very grateful for your help. Best regards, Agnieszka

Porting XLE for a south Asian language (Sinhala)
by Gayan Kavirathne 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Hi All, I'm trying to port XLE for Sinhala Language (Sinhalese). Up to now, I've been successful in generating the grammar parsed correctly. But letters don't appear in the tcl/tk windows. Output can be properly seen in prolog files. So, I assume that the problem is with font rendering in tcl/tk. Is there anyone who has dealt with such situations? How can I download the source files for XLE? Best regards!

*Apologies for cross-posting* Hi, There is an updated programme available for the ParGram meeting at: http://pargram.b.uib.no/meetings/spring-2017-meeting-in-konstanz/ Please note that the meeting will not take place in room G209, but rather in G227a (which is also at the Department of Linguistics). Also, there will be a ParGram BBQ at Miriam and Tina's place on Tuesday evening, starting from 5 pm. Further information including instructions how to get there are on the website above. We will also stream the meeting online, so that you can still attend the sessions even if you cannot come to Konstanz. I will send around information on how to access the stream in due time.
