Learn FLEx morphology parser together

Technology

Inspired by @fauxneticien monthly tinker, I want to try a learning group this summer (to go further, not faster). Specifically, to get more familiar with FLEx’ automatic morphology parser. Anybody interested in spending an hour every other week or so together figuring out how to set it up?

If so, here’s a when2meet: Learning Together: FLEx parser - When2meet Share far and freely! I’m thinking to start the week of June 23. I’ll post the first time/date here.

The plan is to start with video #44 here, a new FLEx project, and some language data + reference grammar. My personal goal is to be ready to introduce the parser to students in a language documentation methods class this fall.

I see Wednesdays work for everyone. Are there any preferences for these times? I will start next Wed Jun 23. If there’s no preference, my preference is the 1/2/3/4pm time. (8/9/10/11am is also possible, just not next week.)

Sorry to those who showed up today. I confused the time and by the time I realized it, we had extended internet outage from nearby construction!

I will be there next Wednesday!

Last week we did a quick tour of FLEx. @IrinaBurukina has agreed to be a test case. She will start building a lexicon and grammar. We’ll work on it together this Wednesday!

Last we Irina came with a lexicon and some grammatical (lexical) categories set up in FLEx. We troubleshooted together. This Wednesday our plan is to work on the inflectional templates (video #47) It’s an open group, join any time!.

Hi Sarah. I put together some notes describing how I had set up ELAN>FLEx export for files with two tiers: original and translation. As we discussed, some steps weren’t obvious to me at first, so maybe this will be helpful to someone else too.

Thanks! I’m sure it will be helpful. It looks like clear instructions to follow. With pictures! Did I point you other online resources like those below? Did you find any of them helpful? Sorry if I didn’t!

Thank you for the links! I actually started learning how to do ELAN>FLEx by reading Chris Collins’ blog, but some things were not clear, hence my step-by-step pdf :slight_smile: I will definitely read Mansfield’s instructions on FLEx>ELAN and watch ELA’s videos.

Irina (and @SarahRMoeller ), we created a script that can automate this process. It’s called Flibl.

The resources you’ve seen are good but the manual import-export is still very clunky and buggy!
