[Corpora-List] interactive alignment interfaces

[Joerg Tiedemann]

I have a prototype of an interactive sentence aligner and another one 
for interactive word alignment using web-based interfaces. They are
part of Uplug (http://sourceforge.net/projects/uplug/) and you may try 
them with small sample texts at


http://www.let.rug.nl/~tiedeman/__align_test/isa.php
(interactive sentence aligner)
http://www.let.rug.nl/~tiedeman/__align_test/ica.php
(interactive word aligner)


(Be nice to our server! - I might take the scripts away if it
starts to get too busy! - But I thought I might risk it to put them 
on-line for a short while. I have a ulimit of 5 seconds for running 
alignments. Don't get confused if it times out ...)


Current features of the sentence aligner:

- automatic alignment with Gale&Church's approach
  (click on 'align')
- a simple cognate filter to add hard-boundaries
  (press the 'cognates' button)
- adding hard-boundaries using structural (XML) tags 
  (there are no useful ones in the test corpus)
- manually adding/removing hard-boundaries
  (click on corresponding sentences)
- saving/sending results in 3 different formats
  (XCES with external pointers, simple TMX, plain text)


Current features of the word aligner:

- uses the Uplug clue aligner (with existing clue collections)
- alignment visualization (matrix style)
- select clue types and weights
- add/remove links (click on corresponding cells in the matrix)
- open/search the clue collections 
- save alignment results (disabled in the demo)

I'm looking forward to get your feedback!


best,

Jörg Tiedemann
