Online Generic Editing of Heterogeneous Dictionary Entries in Papillon Project

Mathieu Mangeot & David Thevenin Work done at NII, Tokyo, Japan Now looking for a position...

My Motivation

• Dictionaries are a Key Element of almost every NLP

System

• But Construction Costs are Heavy
• => Lowering the Costs by Facilitating the

Construction & Maintenance:

• Building Dedicated Environments
• Mutualizing the Resources by Reusing Existing

Ones

• Development by

Voluntary Contributors

• Resulting Data Publicly Available

Outline

• The Situation: Manipulation of XML Dictionaries

with Heterogeneous Entry Structures

• The Problem: How to Edit them Online?
• Our Solution: Using an HMI Tool
• 2 Examples: Papillon & GDEF Dicts
• Conclusion and Future Work

• Conclusion and Future Work

Requirements for the Edition

• Editor Available Online
• Heterogeneous Entry Structures
• Adaptative Interfaces
• To the User (Neophyth, Specialist)
• To the Platform (PDA, Workstation)

The Best: Ad Hoc Editor

Inconvenients

• Ad Hoc for a Particular Structure
• Must be Reimplemented if the Entry

Structure Changes

• Local and Platform Dependent
• Users Cannot Contribute Online

Distributed & Democratic

Data base RTF Files Conversion with a LISP Program Distribution to the Lexicographers

With Word™!

Inconvenients

• Not Usable for Complex Structures
• One Type of Information Per Line
• No Complete Syntax Checking
• Real Time Edition Not Possible
• Delay Necessary for Conversion &

Transport

Online: with HTML

Inconvenients

• Not Dynamically Adaptable
• Need to Write One Interface for Each

Entry Structure

• Lack of Interactors
• Only Buttons, Text Boxes, Check Boxes &

Pop up Menus

Our Solution

• None of the Previous Solutions Satisfy our

Requirements

• An Idea
• Using HMI Techniques & Tools for

Automatically Generating Interfaces

• Generation Based on the Data Structure and

the User Profile

ArtStudio: a Multitarget Generation Framework

CUI Model

• XML Document
• Describes the Graphic User Interface
• Interactors and their Position
• Target-Dependent
• One Model for each Target:
• Edition,

Visualisation, Mobile Phone

Papillon Dictionary

• Multilingual Dictionary with a Pivot Structure
• Monolingual Entries linked to a Pivot

Volume

• Microstructure based on the Meaning-T

ext Theory

• Very Complex: semantic formula, gvt pattern,

lexical functions, etc.

Edition Interface

Other Views

Consultation: Mobile Phone:

GDEF Dictionary

• Bilingual Estonian-French Dictionary
• Project Leader: Antoine Chalvin INALCO,

Paris

• Microstructure based on the Lemma

Edition Interface

• Conclusion and Future Work

Conclusion

• Innovative Solution
• Generic: Multi-Dictionaries
• Efficient: already 152 entries for GDEF Dict

(2 people, 2 months)

• Multitarget: Edition, Consultation, Mobile

Phone

• Multipurpose: can be adapted for other type
• f data

Future Work

• To Find a Position!
• Implementing more Features of the XML

Schemata:

• Basic Types: boolean, date, etc.
• Complex Structures: choice, etc.
• Automatizing the Process:
• Generation of the Interface Model from

the XML Schema
