Hello,

I did not post to kde-devel since a long time and I hope that this one will \
be well received even if it is not immediately related to KDE. In fact, \
some of you will remember that I talked a few years ago about the possible \
release under an open source licence of the natural language analyzer I \
work on at work and that could be useful to KDE, for example in Nepomuk.

Well, here we are, finally, and thus we propose a (paid) internship to help \
us clean up and set up before putting it online.

You'll find below the internship proposition.

Regards,

Gaël


Internship: Release of a multilingual linguistic analysis software under a \
Free/Libre Open Source Software Licence (Compulsory internship with \
internship agreement, Master 1 or 2 level)

CEA LIST
Vision and Content Engineering Laboratory

The internship will take place in the premises of LVIC at Nano-INNOV \
located in Palaiseau 25 km south of Paris, France.


TOPIC

Context

Since 2002, the LVIC develops the multilingual linguistic analyzer LIMA. It \
is now a very modular tool able to analyse (tokenization, morphological, \
syntactic and semantic parsing) texts in languages ​​as diverse as \
English, French, Arabic, Chinese , Spanish, German or Italian. LIMA \
currently represents more than 100,000 lines of code (excluding linguistic \
resources). LIMA is already used in several industrial products, but the \
CEA LIST has decided to distribute it under Free/Libre Open Source Software \
License (FLOSS) to facilitate its use, its dissemination and to get faster \
returns from a broader community of users. LIMA is coded in standard C++. \
It uses extensively boost and Qt libraries and is cross-platform (GNU/Linux \
and MS Windows so far). Its architecture makes it easily extensible and \
integratable into applications.

Objectives

This release, which is within ASFALDA project (funded by the French \
National Research Agency) requires further improvements to the software \
                before its distribution on several aspects:
- API documentation;
- User documentation;
- Unit tests;
- Functional tests.

LIMA depends on linguistic resources to operate (dictionaries, parsing \
rules, ...). Even if the laboratory is the owner of some of them, others \
are from commercial resources and may not be distributed freely. Another \
goal of the intern will thus to produce alternative resources from freely \
available linguistic resources.

The intern will work on these topics in order to make available LIMA on a \
software forge at the end of the course. The selected candidate will have a \
good level in C++, an understanding of issues related to software release \
(testing, documentation ...) and ideally have participated in a free \
software project.


Course Duration: 4 to 6 months

Training required: Master 1 or 2.
