note allolex <p>Cool. Thanks a lot for the links. =) So what sort of linguistic model are you using for your engine?. Babelfish appears to be a mix of ideas, but a project with a similar name, [http://www.dfki.de/~stefan/Babel/e_babel.html|Babel], uses HPSG (Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar)<p> <p>Speaking of Babelfish, I'm about to become famous, at least locally. The German radio show [http://www.wdr.de/radio/wdr3/sendungen/worlau/index.html|Wortlaut] will at some point have a contribution from [http://www.maxschoenherr.de|Max Schönherr], who did some interesting, funny stuff with [http://babelfish.altavista.com/|Babelfish] and [http://www.systransoft.com/|Systran]. Anyway, my colleagues and I are going to be on the show (reading stuff---don't want to ruin the surprise). </p> <p>I dabble in [http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/|Ruby] myself, so I think you might not be giving it a fair shake, but really anything you can do in Ruby, you can do in Perl---just in a different way. Anyway, there is no Ruby Monks.</p> <p> --<br> Allolex </p> 255595 255768
