[12:49:40] <proteusguy> inariksit, howdy
[12:53:35] <inariksit> welcome to the channel :) are you using GF or just interested in general?
[13:12:49] *** Joins: sirdancealot (~sirdancea@ip-89-102-14-217.net.upcbroadband.cz)
[14:29:00] <proteusguy> inariksit, not using it yet but am quite interested.

[15:13:50] <inariksit> proteusguy: cool! are you working/studying/doing something in NLP?
[15:14:04] <inariksit> if you need help with anything, this is the place to ask :)
[15:14:11] <inariksit> or just general questions or comments
[15:15:55] <proteusguy> investigating it for use in http://legalese.com
[15:19:09] <inariksit> that sounds cool
[15:19:51] <inariksit> we've got an internal project at the department to develop a swedish-english authoring tool for university course plans
[15:20:21] <proteusguy> we're doing human language text generation from executable representations of legal documents. the L4 language contract definition has English legal nomenclature text as a target output.
[15:20:28] <inariksit> and some people are working on contracts, but not afaik using GF with their current stuff
[15:20:41] <inariksit> nice
[15:20:53] <inariksit> and you want the target to become multilingual?
[15:20:58] <proteusguy> indeed
[15:21:22] <inariksit> have you seen this? http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-448/paper3.pdf
[15:22:02] <proteusguy> inariksit, no I haven't... will review.
[15:22:28] <inariksit> this seems like a similar thing: Attempto Controlled English has its own engine and translation to some other formats, and then the GF people implemented a multilingual GF grammar that covers the ACE fragment
[15:22:32] <inariksit> and translates it to other languages
[15:29:29] <proteusguy> What's your involvement in all this?
[15:30:20] <inariksit> I'm a phd student in university of gothenburg, in the group where GF is developed; I have no connection to the contract use case
[15:31:06] <inariksit> actually all of my GF work has been resource grammars :-P my latest GF-related project is to figure out if we can derive Constraint Grammar rules from GF grammars
[15:31:10] <proteusguy> you participate in the development of GF or am just a user?
[15:32:14] <inariksit> I've contributed to the resource grammar library for quite a few languages, but nothing to the internals
[15:32:26] <proteusguy> inariksit, that certainly counts. :)
[15:32:46] <proteusguy> thanx for the pointer... will dig in deeper when I get the chance.
[15:32:59] <inariksit> I was just looking what jstar has written
[15:33:13] <inariksit> he's not online on IRC often, but maybe he'll get the highlight :-P
[15:33:20] <inariksit> this is his publication list http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~cajohn/academic.html
[15:35:24] <proteusguy> thanx
[15:37:25] <inariksit> where are you based?
[15:38:43] <proteusguy> I live in Bangkok. But we're spread around.
[15:41:08] <inariksit> okay
[15:44:28] <inariksit> I'll tell about legalese in our next project meeting :) maybe the people know about it already, but in case they don't, they'll surely find it interesting
[15:45:21] <proteusguy> we've got an unusual structure designed to encourage participants so feel free.
[18:28:30] <vin-ivar> inariksit,
[18:28:48] <vin-ivar> we have a course on GF around easter
[18:28:50] <vin-ivar> :D
